6C49907D6371B970BD7AFB1C5685C40A.taxon	materials_examined	— Type: India. Assam, Gubroo hills, 08. III. 1836, Griffith W. 3845 (lecto-, K [K 000858010]! digital image, here designated [Fig. 1]; isolecto-, K [K 000858011]! digital image).	en	Akhil, Mannar Kandy, Möller, Michael, Nampy, Santhosh (2022): Lectotypifications of four names in the family Gesneriaceae.

6C49907D6371B970BD7AFB1C5685C40A.taxon	discussion	LECTOTYPIFICATION In the protologue Griffith (1854) cited “ HAB. Assam. In umbrosis humidis collis humilis prope Gubroo Purbut: March, 1836. ”, but did not provide specimen details. We have traced a single sheet at K with three flowering twigs and two barcode numbers (K 000858010, K 000858011). In the upper part of the sheet, there are two flowering twigs and the barcode number is labelled in between them. Thus, we are considering them as a single collection under the barcode number K 000858010. K 000858011 has a single flowering specimen but the collection details are not clearly readable. On the other hand, the collection K 000858010 has a field label annotated ‘ Gubroo Hills, 3.8 / 36 ’. The location exactly matches with the protologue while the date of collection is presumably March 8 1836. Further, the sub-opposite or alternate, oblong-ovate leaves, acuminate at apex, petaloid calyx and five-winged flower buds in K 000858010 agrees with the protologue, hence, it is selected here as the lectotype.	en	Akhil, Mannar Kandy, Möller, Michael, Nampy, Santhosh (2022): Lectotypifications of four names in the family Gesneriaceae.

6C49907D6371B970BF96FE5F561BC1F7.taxon	materials_examined	— Type: India. Meghalaya, Khasya [Khassya, now Khasi], s. d., Griffith W. s. n. (lecto-, K [K 000831968]! first step designated by Vitek et al. 2000; second step here designated [Fig. 2]; isolecto-, BM [BM 000997689], K [K 000831969, K 000831970]! digital images).	en	Akhil, Mannar Kandy, Möller, Michael, Nampy, Santhosh (2022): Lectotypifications of four names in the family Gesneriaceae.

6C49907D6371B970BF96FE5F561BC1F7.taxon	discussion	LECTOTYPIFICATION While describing Didymocarpus griffithii, Wight (1850) cited the collection details only as “ Khassya [Khasya], Griffith ”. Burtt (1975) and Vitek et al. (2000) did not provide further details, except for the latter mentioning K for the location of the types. Hence this can be considered as the first step of lectotypification. There are three relevant herbarium sheets at K (K 000831968, K 000831969, K 000831970). All of them bear perfect specimens with axillary cymes and a pair of lanceolate bracts at each branching and with the annotations “ Khasya [Khassya], Griffith ” in pencil or ink. K 000831968 and K 000831969 bear original Wight herbarium labels (HERB. R. WIGHT. PROP.). Among them, sheet K 000831968 with a Wight label and annotation by Weitzman and Skog as type material is selected here as the lectotype (second-step).	en	Akhil, Mannar Kandy, Möller, Michael, Nampy, Santhosh (2022): Lectotypifications of four names in the family Gesneriaceae.

6C49907D6371B970BFEFFABC5798C2F3.taxon	materials_examined	— Type: India. Muneypoor, Moa, 5500 ft, 27. X. 1885, C. B. Clarke 41283 A (lecto-, K [K 000831989]! digital image, here designated [Fig. 3]; isolecto-, K [K 000831990, K 000831991]! digital images).	en	Akhil, Mannar Kandy, Möller, Michael, Nampy, Santhosh (2022): Lectotypifications of four names in the family Gesneriaceae.

6C49907D6371B970BFEFFABC5798C2F3.taxon	discussion	LECTOTYPIFICATION In the protologue of Lysionotus pubescens, Clarke (1889) cited “ North Muneypore [Manipur], alt. 5500 feet [n. 41283] ” along with an illustration (Clarke 1889: pl. 23) which is also original material according to Art 9.4. (Turland et al. 2018), and since Clarke omitted to explicitly state a holotype, a lectotypification is necessary (Art. 9.3., Turland et al. 2018). We have traced three relevant herbarium sheets at K with the collection numbers 41283 A (K 000831989), 41283 D (K 000831990) and 41283 E (K 000831991). All specimens have mature capsules and detailed field labels. Among them, K 000831989 bears four fruiting branches and an annotation by Clarke: “ shrub 6 - 8 feet long, semi pendent, much branched, Lysionotus pubescens sp. nov. ”, is selected here as the lectotype.	en	Akhil, Mannar Kandy, Möller, Michael, Nampy, Santhosh (2022): Lectotypifications of four names in the family Gesneriaceae.

6C49907D637AB97BBCADFED0508AC189.taxon	materials_examined	— Type: India. Assam, Lushai Hills, Muallung (Chin border), c. 5000 ft. 03. XI. 1925, Mr. & Mrs. N. E. Parry s. n. (lecto-, K [K 000196635]! digital image, here designated [Fig. 4]; isolecto-, K [K 000196636, K 000196637, K 000196638]! digital images).	en	Akhil, Mannar Kandy, Möller, Michael, Nampy, Santhosh (2022): Lectotypifications of four names in the family Gesneriaceae.

6C49907D637AB97BBCADFED0508AC189.taxon	discussion	LECTOTYPIFICATION Fischer (1926) described Petrocosmea parryorum, based on the collections of Mr. and Mrs. Parry and cited “ INDIA. Assam; Lushai Hills, about 1700 m., near Sailsuk, Muallung, on the Chin Hill border, and Vanlaiphai, Sept. - Nov., Mr. and Mrs. N. E. Parry (type in Herb. Kew.) ”. We have traced four relevant sheets at K (K 000196635, K 000196636, K 000196637, K 000196638), that seem to come from three collections: K 000196635 and K 000196636 were from Muallung while K 000196637 from Vanlaiphai, all three collected on 3 November 1925, and K 000196638 from Sailsuk collected in September 1925. The sheet K 000196636 has two plants, a single leaf and inflorescence and a separately mounted flower. The plant on the right has a flower with a 6 - lobed corolla, which is an exception. K 000196637 and K 000196638 each hold a small single plant and a separately mounted leaf. The former has no flowers but infructescences separately placed in an envelope on the sheet, while the latter plant has flowers and illustrations. K 000196635 having five flowering plants on the sheet with five leaves are mounted separately and a flower in a pocket is selected here as the lectotype.	en	Akhil, Mannar Kandy, Möller, Michael, Nampy, Santhosh (2022): Lectotypifications of four names in the family Gesneriaceae.
