REMARKS

In the protologue of Anaphalis bournei , Fyson (1914: 209) cited three specimens namely, “ Bourne 2696, Fyson. Nilgiri Hills, Kotagiri, Wight, K.D. 1630, Courtallam, Wight. Anamally Hills, Wight, K.D. 1630 ”. We have traced three herbarium sheets in two herbaria, two at K (K000899045, K000899046) and one at MH (MH00002273). Among these, the specimen K000899046 is designated here as the lectotype of the name A. bournei , as the characters of the flowering twig matches well with the protologue.
