However, David Don (in Lambert 1821) sought to remedy things by applying, incorrectly, Jones’s binomial to the true jatamansi (i.e., the Nardostachys), by dis- missing not only the sole original material (the plate) but also Jones’s description, and therefore making most important the verbal information provided by Harington. This is not acceptable as a ‘lectotypification’ (a practice not formulated in the modern sense in Don’s time in any case) and we cannot therefore concur with Hara (1975), who essentially followed David Don’s setting aside of Jones’s (and Burt’s) work (see below).</p><p>In 1825 Don decided (correctly) that the true jatamansi was not a Valeriana after all and therefore coined the name Patrinia jatamansi for it. This name is based on Valeriana jatamansi sensu D.Don (1821), non Jones (1790), and includes in its synonymy ‘ V. spica Vahl, Enum. 1 [i.e. 2 (1805)]. p. 13’ (a su- perfluous name for Jones’s V. jatamansi, and therefore also not applicable to what is now the Nardostachys). In other words, Patrinia jatamansi D.Don was in effect a new species for what is now the Nardostachys, its type being the Wallich material from Bhutan cited by Don.</p><p>The genus Nardostachys – later 19th-century treatments In 1830 De Candolle erected the genus Nardostachys for the true jatamansi and coined the binomial N. jatamansi, which he clearly based on Patrinia jatamansi (and therefore V. jatamansi sensu D.Don, non Jones). He also added a second species, N. grandiflora DC., based on other Wallich material from Ku- maon (now in the state of Uttarakhand, India), but this plant is now considered conspecific with N. jatamansi (see below). It should be noted that in the Prodromus (1830) De Candolle referred to a publication that had, in fact, not yet been issued (De Candolle 1832) in which both species of Nardostachys (and Valeriana wallichii – see below) were illustrated and once again described. Royle (1835: 1: 242-4; 2: t. 54), who had a special interest in materia medica, discovered, while stationed at Saharunpur, and independently of Don, that Jones’s plant was not the true jatamansi, and obtained and grew the correct plant from the mountains of Kedarkantha and/or Shalma in the Western Himalaya (Uttarakhand, India). By the time that he came to publish his conclusions, accompanied by a handsome plate, he had become aware of Don’s and De Candolle’s work and followed their treatment (though without saying to which species of Valeriana he considered Jones’s illustration to belong). Clarke (1881) also followed Don and De Candolle, but made N. grandiflora DC. a synonym of N. jatamansi DC. Adopting the convention of his day, Clarke stated that “The name V. Jatamansi [of Jones] is hence to be suppressed” and referred Jones’s illustration to Valeriana wallichii DC. In this identification he followed De Candolle, though, in fact, De Candolle had referred the Jones plate to his new species with a query.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/843087DAFFD32D30517A53E017A89B64	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

(V.S.)”, but in his discussion Lambert (in the same work) referred only to a single collection: “fine Nepalese specimens sent to me by ... Dr. Wallich” from which the plate (here designated as lectotype) was made. The formal citation is ambiguous, and it seems possible that the citation ‘Bootaniae’ could merely have been a repetition of one of the traditional localities of Jones, rather than Wallichian specimens therefrom. From the date of collection (before Wallich himself had visited Nepal), this collection must have been made by, or for, the Hon. Edward Gardner (Resident at the Nepalese court, and botanical correspond- ent of Wallich – see Fraser-Jenkins 2006, M. Watson pers. comm.). Any ‘Wallich’ specimens in the East India Company herbarium would have reached London too late for Don’s 1825 publication, and it appears that the Valeriana work had, in fact, been completed in time for publication in 1821.</p><p>Later, Don (1825) cited a single locality “in Bhotaniae alpibus” and the collector’s name Wallich – that is, with no ‘v.s’., but, as he referred back to ‘Lambert’, that paper and its original materials can be used in typification. Lambert’s herbarium was sold and widely dispersed after his death (some dispersal having predated this), though much of the Nepalese material was purchased by Robert Brown and is now at BM – for details see Miller (1970). Although it is conceivable that an original specimen may exist in another herbarium (CGE, G, etc.) this is unlikely. As there is no relevant specimen from Lambert’s herbarium at BM, and the published plate is an excellent one, it seems safest to lectotypify the name on the plate.As Weberling (1978) cited as ‘Typus’ material that was not available to Don in 1821, this cannot be accepted as a lectotypification, though in the interests of continuity it is here redesignated as ‘epitype’.</p><p>Nardostachys grandiflora DC.
