Haplanthus laxiflorus (Blume) Gnanasek., G.V.S.Murthy & Y.F.Deng var. parishii (T.Anderson) Gnanasek., G.V.S.Murthy & Y.F.Deng. — Gymnostachyum parishii T.Anderson, J. Linn. Soc., Bot. 9 (1867) 504. — Type: Helfer s.n. (lecto CAL0000019987 About CAL , here designated), India, Andaman Islands , s.dat.
Distribution — India.
Note — Anderson (1867) treated H. tener var. elongatus as a synonym of G. parishii whereas the type specimen of the former name matches well with var. laxiflorus . Therefore H. tener var. elongatus is here treated as synonym of Haplanthus laxiflorus var. laxiflorus . Examination of specimens cited by Anderson (1867) under G. parishii reveals that they are a mixture of two distinct taxa. Helfer s.n. is chosen here as the lectotype because all the other syntypes are identical with var. laxiflorus . The variety parishii can be distinguished from var. laxiflorus by being glabrous throughout, with very loose, filiform racemose inflorescences with a solitary flower in each node of the rachis.
