Barleria cristata Linnaeus View in CoL , Species Plantarum 2: 636. 1753.

"Habitat in India." RCN: 4624.

Lectotype (Brummitt & Vollesen in Taxon 41: 558. 1992): Herb. Linn. No. 805.12 ( LINN) .

Generitype of Barleria Linnaeus.

Current name: Barleria cristata L. View in CoL ( Acanthaceae ).

Note: Barleria cristata , with the type designated by Brummitt & Vollesen, was proposed as conserved type of the genus by Jarvis (in Taxon 41: 558. 1992). However, the proposal was eventually ruled unnecessary by the General Committee (see Barrie, l.c. 55: 795-796. 2006 for a review of the history of this and related proposals).

Malik & Ghafoor (in Nasir & Ali, Fl. Pakistan 188: 50. 1988) wrongly indicated 805.4 (LINN), a post-1753 collection apparently associated with B. hystrix L. , as type. It is not original material for B. cristata .
