Notes — In the protologue, one dozen specimens representing nine gatherings were cited but none was called ‘ type’. All were examined in this study. Two (Clemens 9170, B; Bureau of Science 31657, B) are L. eryliae subsp. luzonica. The one here selected as lectotype was the only sheet that Skottsberg had labelled as ‘ Typus’ (cf. Rec. 9 A. 3).

The other syntype (Kaudern 289, S) was annotated with a name that was never effectively published. It does not match the protologue due to its larger flowers and is assigned above to L. sulawesiensis.	en	Lammers, Th. G.
