56567700FF97FFAACCB136E4E2E99615.taxon	materials_examined	Type (lectotype, designated here): — INDIA. Sikkim, Donkia Pass, 17 - 18000 ft., Sept. 1845, J. D. Hooker s. n. (K barcode K 000076978 [digital image!], available at http: // specimens. kew. org / herbarium / K 000076978. Further original material traced: — Sikkim (BM barcode BM 000565806 [digital image!], CAL barcode 0000004029!; E barcode E 00438695 [digital image!], GH barcode GH 00038301 [digital image!], JE barcode JE 00016417 [digital image!], MH barcode MH 00001736!; NY barcode NY 00353421 [digital image!], S no. S 07 - 14842 [digital image!]). Notes: — In the protologue, Hooker f. and Thomson (1855: 53) indicated “ In Himalaya orient, interior!: Sikkim, alt. 16 - 18,000 ped.! ” without specifying any herbarium. Later on, Munz (1967: 485), in his treatment of this name cited the K specimen as the holotype which is an error to be corrected to the lectotype (Art. 9.9 of ICN, McNeill et al., 2012; McNeil 2014: 1112). The original material traced is composed by nine specimens kept in BM, CAL, E, GH, JE, K, MH, NY and S. All the specimens bear essentially the same details except K specimen for which Sir J. D. Hooker had mentioned the exact locality “ Donkia Pass ”. Therefore, the K specimen is selected here as the lectotype as required by Arts. 7.8 and 8.1 of the ICN (McNeill et al., 2012). Taxonomic and ecological notes: — This species occurs at an altitude higher than 5000 m a. s. l. in the eastern Himalaya. The upper sepal is fairly large reaching a length of ca 30 mm and spur with a width of nearly 8 mm. The plant is characterized by its small habit, presence of musky smell, semiglobose flowers, ciliate stamens and 5 carpels. Morphologically, the species affinity lies with D. brunonianum Royle (1834: 56) and D. nordhagenii Wendelbo (1954: 227).	en	Agnihotri, Priyanka, Husain, Danish, Husain, Tariq (2017): Lectotypification of three names in genus Delphinium (Ranunculaceae) from India.

56567700FF97FFABCCB133B4E695925D.taxon	materials_examined	Type (lectotype, designated here): — INDIA. Sikkim, Phutwong near Tunga 15,000 ft., Oct., J. D. Hooker s. n. (K barcode K 000076975 [digital image!], available at http: // specimens. kew. org / herbarium / K 000076975). Further original material traced: — INDIA. Sikkim, 15 - 16,000 ft., J. D. Hooker s. n. (BM barcode BM 001122288 [digital image!], E barcode E 00438689 [digital image!]); Sikkim, Kinchin-jhow, 16,000 ft., 12 September 1849, s. coll. (K barcode K 000076974 [digital image!]). Notes: — Hooker and Thomson (1855: 52) cited ‘ Sikkim, 15 - 16,000 pedibus’. Later on, Munz (1967: 495) in his treatment of this species cited ‘ Sikkim, 15 - 16,000 ft., J. D. Hooker in Hooker f. & Thomson collection’ and listed two specimens kept in K: Kinchin-jhow, 16,000 ’, 12 Sept. 1849, Hooker s. n.; Phutwong near Tunga, Oct., 15,000 ’ Hooker s. n.. Agnihotri et al. (2015) also provided a detailed commentary on the typification, but in our opinion the name still requires typification as the name hitherto remains attached to four syntypes. Therefore, one specimen is selected here from amongst the original material to lectotypify the name (Arts. 7.7 and 9.2 of the ICN, McNeill et al. 2012). Besides the three specimens at BM, E and K collected by Sir J. D. Hooker, there is one sheet at K without collector name bearing barcode K 000076974 with details: ‘ Kinchin-jhow, 16,000 ft., 12 September 1849 ’. The writing used for providing details undoubtedly belongs to Sir J. D. Hooker and we therefore consider it as part of the original material. Sir J. D. Hooker has mentioned Sikkim on two specimens whereas for the remaining two specimens, specific localities from Sikkim were mentioned: Kinchin-jhow and Phutwong near Tunga. We choose the sheet K 000076975 as the lectotype. Taxonomic notes: Delphinium viscosum is regarded as a taxonomic complex distributed in eastern Himalaya. The plant is non odorous with very variable flower colours. The typical form is characterized by small bracts ranging 1.8 ‒ 2.0 cm in length and bracteoles ranging 0.7 ‒ 0.8 cm in length inserted remotely from flower.	en	Agnihotri, Priyanka, Husain, Danish, Husain, Tariq (2017): Lectotypification of three names in genus Delphinium (Ranunculaceae) from India.

56567700FF96FFA8CCB13765E2FD925D.taxon	materials_examined	Type (lectotype, designated here): — INDIA. Sikkim, Zeylep La, September 1879, G. King s. n. (JE barcode JE 00016392 [digital image!], Figure 1; isolectotype CAL acc. no. 6884!). Notes: — Delphinium viscosum subsp. gigantobracteum was originally described at varietal level, based on collections made by King’s Collectors from Sikkim. Recently, the name was proposed at subspecies level by Agnihotri et al. (2016) but it was not validly published as the name was based on two types with type citation as “ INDIA: Sikkim: Chumbi, Kungbur, 7 Aug. 1884, Dr. King’s collector 42 (CAL); Sikkim, Zeylep La, Sept. 1879, G. King (CAL) ”. Besides the two specimens cited in Agnihotri et al. (2016), we have found one more specimen kept at JE, annotated by Brühl as Delphinium viscosum var. gigantobracteum along with a second label provided by Huth. Therefore, we choose this ‘ Zeylep La’ specimen kept at JE as the lectotype, in accordance with Arts. 7.7 and 9.2 of the ICN (McNeill et al. 2012). Taxonomic notes: — Delphinium viscosum subsp. gigantobracteum is characterized by trilobed leaves, bracts ranging between 2.5 ‒ 5.5 cm in length and bracteoles ranging between 0.7 ‒ 2.0 cm in length, placed at the base of the flower.	en	Agnihotri, Priyanka, Husain, Danish, Husain, Tariq (2017): Lectotypification of three names in genus Delphinium (Ranunculaceae) from India.
