NOTES

Lecomte (1928a: 118) cited Pierre 5026 from “Cochinchine: Bao chiang, province de Bien hoa” as the original material. Nguyen (1996: 71) cited Pierre 5026 (P) as the holotype. As this collection does not comprise a single sheet, a second-step lectotypification needs to be made. Four sheets of Pierre 5026 have been located at P and VNM and have Lecomte’s determination and a detailed label. Here, we designate P00721703, the best preserved specimen from the P collection as the lectotype.
