Notes.

Strobilanthes paniculata resembles S. paniculiformis J. R. I. Wood in having a panicle of capitate inflorescences and glabrous bracts. It differs in having the obovate bracts and linear-obovate bracteoles vs. the ovate-orbicular bracts and obovate to narrowly obovate bracteoles in S. paniculiformis .

Helfer ’ s collection was cited in the protologue of S. subcapitata (Clarke 1884) . This collection has three duplicates. Two of which were deposited at K [K 000883112, K 000883113] and one housed at P [P 00719448]. Both the duplicates at K have Clarke ’ s handwriting as follows: “ Strobilanthes subcapitata Clarke ”: but K 000883112 has more mature leaves. Therefore, we select this specimen as the lectotype.

The original protologue of S. microcephala was based on Poilane 15853 (Benoist 1934). This collection has five duplicates one at A [A 00286779], two at K [K 001514870, K 001514871] and two at P [P 00719373, P 00719376]. P 00719373 has more mature leaves and inflorescences; therefore, it is selected as the lectotype. The others are isolectotypes.
