Media and observations
Figure 2 Notes: — The name Ammannia multiflora was validly published by Roxburgh (1820), which was proposed by him in his earlier work Hortus Bengalensis (1814) based on his collection from Kolkata (then Calcutta). The specimen with barcode K 000729678 at K herbarium and illustration no. 915 from Icons Roxburghiana, kept at CAL, were the results of our search for the original specimens. Except the handwritten label “ Ammannia multiflora, ” which resembles Roxburgh’s writing when compared to Forman (1997), the specimen (K 000729678) at the K Herbarium does not contain any proof that it is the original specimen. Furthermore, we were unable to locate any other original specimen in any of the other herbaria (BM, BR, CAL, E, G, and LIV) indicated by Stafleu and Cowan (1983). Therefore, following ICN article 9.3 (Turland et al. 2018), here we select illustration no. 915 from Roxburgh’s Icons as lectotype for the name A. multiflora.
