Lectotypification of Cinnamomum riparium Gamble (Lauraceae)

M. P. Geethakumary, A. G. Pandurangan*, S. Deepu

Abstract


On revising the genus Cinnamomum of Southern India, we realized the confusion in the type designated to C. riparium Gamble.  After a thorough examination of literature and specimens housed at different national and international herbaria we proposed to designate a lectotype among syntypes bearing No.1573 of Bourdillon's collections from the Banks of Periyar River, Travancore during 1904.
