Lectotype (first-step designated by Borssum, 1966; second-step designated here): INDIA, Karnataka, Mysore , 14.05.1800, Heyne 183 (K [K000659370 digital image!]; isolecto K [K000659371 digital image!]). Fig. 2 View Fig

Notes: Wight and Arnott (1834) described S. mysorensis based on collections by different collectors. They can be considered as syntypes. Among which, Borssum (1966) cited Wight’s specimen with number ‘183’ which is from Heyne’s herbarium as mentioned by Noltie (2005) and connected to Wallich catalogue no. 1855. Two sheets of Heyne’s collection from Mysore are housed at K, one with number ‘183’ and the other without a number, but the date of collection ( 14 th May, 1800) for both specimens indicates that the specimens are part of a single gathering. Moreover, the sheet with number ‘183’ has two specimens mounted on it with two different barcode numbers (K000659370, K000659371). One of them (K000659370) is designated here as the second-step lectotype considering the type citation by Borssum (1966) as a first-step lectotypification.
