Notes: — In the protologue of Smithia setulosa, Dalzell (1851) mentioned only “Crescit in jugo Syhadrensi, prope Parwar-ghât”, but did not provide the date of collection, number of collection and name of herbarium where specimens housed. At present only two herbarium sheets of Smithia setulosa , collected by Dalzell is extant, one each at CAL and MH. Of these, the best one, CAL0000012750, is designated here as the lectotype as it agrees well with the protologue.
