970C87A9FFCAFFA0FFCBFB4882291D81.taxon	description	Notes: Hooker (1892) validated D. laurifolia Wall. (Numer. List No. 5111, nom. nud.) and mentioned three collectors, viz. Porter, Maingay and Hullet in the protologue. Four sheets from Penang, Porter (Wall., Numer. List No. 5111) has been located, one at BM (BM 001049925) and three at K (K 001104831, K 000098237, K 000098238) and all can be regarded as syntypes (Art. 9.4, 9.6; Turland et al., 2018). Also, no collection under Maingay and Hullet is traceable in any of the herbaria. Furthermore, in synonymy, a collection from Penang by Porter is referred under D. glabra (Wall., Numer. List No. 5105 B). Three sheets have been traced under the name at BM and K (BM 001049881, K 001104787, K 001104788), but we could not recognize any elongated unilaterally panicled male spikes in the specimens which is one of the key characters of D. laurifolia. Hence, these are not considered under D. laurifolia here. Among the four recognized sheets, the specimen (BM 001049925, https: // data. nhm. ac. uk / dataset / collection-specimens / resource / 05 ff 2255 - c 38 a- 40 c 9 - b 657 - 4 ccb 55 ab 2 feb / record / 4544812) with Porter’s annotation best agrees with the protologue and is designated here as the lectotype and others consequently as isolectotypes.	en	R.

970C87A9FFCBFFA6FD5BFC6787DC18C9.taxon	description	Notes: Hooker (1892) described D. wightii based on collection made by Robert Wight from Courtallam, (in Tamil Nadu). Two collections (male specimens), Wight 2827 and Wight 939 A, which are matching with the protologue were traced at K. Under the gathering Wight 2827, two herbarium sheets were traced, one each at K (K 000098200) and CAL (CAL 0000024785), however, only the K specimen was annotated by the author. The herbarium catalogue database of Royal Botanical Garden, Edinburgh indicates Wight 939 A (E 00179442 and E 00179443) as isotypes. There is no evidence to prove which among the available specimens is seen by Hooker. Since the primary deposit of Hooker is at Kew, the specimen bearing the barcode K 000098200 (http: // specimens. kew. org / herbarium / K 000098200) is selected here as the lectotype.	en	R.
