039287BEFFA5E705FCB9FE7FFAFEFA7F.taxon	description	Habenaria viridiflora is a widespread orchid in continental Southeast Asia. It was rarely collected from Maharashtra and Concan (Jalal, 2018) from where Dalzell described it under Coeloglossum. It can be recognized in the field with its thin, deeply penetrating narrow tubers, elliptic-oblong often glaucous leaves in a rosette, with almost equal sepals and petals. Hooker (1890) reduced Coeloglossum luteum to Habenaria viridiflora var. dalzellii. It was solely based on collections by Dalzell from Malwan. It is characterised by rosette-like linear leaves, a very slender, wire-like scape, smaller flowers, and a slender and incurved spur longer than the ovary. A comparison of the protologues and the original material of C. luteum and O. viridiflora show them to be conspecific. The type specimens for C. luteum are available at K and DD. There are three sheets at K: K 001097955 (Orchideae no. 36) brought by Stocks, which is missing Dalzell’s annotation. K 001097954 is a part of Dalzell’s personal collection presented in 1878 by Mrs. Dalzell, the same collection is also distributed at DD (Acc. no. 17259); although it is labelled by Dalzell, it is difficult to determine that it has been labelled prior to the publication of the species. The remaining two sheets at K are yet to be digitized, and one has Dalzell’s annotation, ‘ Coeloglossum luteum ’. It perhaps arrived at K before 1848 and is now pasted with Griffith’s collection. It is chosen here as lectotype giving preference over the remaining specimens at K. Another specimen at K has a similar label as on the lectotype, but the collection belongs to Peristylus densus (Lindl.) Santapau & Kapadia. The other collection by Dalzell, with publication details on it has been excluded from the original material. It is not clear whether the GH 00217952 from Vengurla (now part of Malwan) was used by Dalzell when he was preparing the MS. 2. Dendrobium crispum Dalzell, Hooker’s J. Bot. Kew Gard. Misc. 4: 111. 1852 (excl. descr.). Dendrobium humile Wight, Icon. Pl. Ind. Orient. 5, 5: t. 1643. 1851, nom. illeg., non Smith (1808). Type: INDIA, Tamil Nadu, Iyamally, s. d., R. Wight s. n. (K [K 000943912!]). An epiphytic orchid that occurs in peninsular India, Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar, and Thailand. It was previously known as D. peguanum Lindl. Dendrobium crispum can be recognised in the field by ellipsoid pseudobulbs, a short (up to 7 mm long) pedunculate inflorescence, and c. 15 mm long flowering rachis with patent floral bracts, and a medial lip callus that ends with two prostrate horns (Ormerod & Kumar, 2018). Dalzell (1852) described Dendrobium crispum citing D. humile Wight (1851), which is a later homonym of D. humile Smith (1808). However, D. crispum has been retained by replacing D. humile Wight with its type, excluding the description. Ormerod and Kumar (2018) described Dendrobium turbinatum based on the accompanying description of D. crispum (Fig. 3 a). Lindley’s (1858) perception of Dendrobium crispum auct. Dalzell (1852) and D. humile Wight (1851) were altogether different, he considered both conspecific with D. microbulbon A. Rich. (Richard, 1841), which has been followed for many years (Dalzell & Gibson, 1861; Hooker, 1890; Nairne, 1894; Cooke, 1908; Almeida, 1990; Jalal, 2018; POWO, 2023). However, D. microbulbon differs from D. turbinatum by having a synanthous habit, a conical, obtuse, incurved mentum, and a suborbicular lip mid-lobe (Ormerod & Kumar, 2018). 3. Dendrobium dalzellii Hook., Hooker’s J. Bot. Kew Gard. Misc. 4: 292. 1852 (Dendrobium fimbriatum Dalzell in MSS non Hooker, 1823, nec Lindley, 1830).

039287BEFFA2E706FCB2FA0BFEC9FEFD.taxon	description	Lindley (1858) transferred Dendrobium dalzellii to Eria, citing Dendrobium filiforme Wight (Icon. Pl. Ind. Orient. 5 (1): 5, t. 1642. 1851) in the synonymy. This makes the name E. dalzellii superfluous; however, it has been widely adopted for over a century (Hooker, 1890; Gammie, 1906; Cooke, 1908; Blatter & McCann, 1931; Saldanha, 1976; Joseph & Ansari, 1989; Lakshminarsimhan, 1996; Santapau & Kapadia, 1966; Pradhan, 1979; Abraham & Vatsala, 1981; Kumar & Manilal, 1994; Noltie, 2005; Mulgaonkar & Dabhade, 2005).	en	S.

039287BEFFA2E706FCB2FA0BFEC9FEFD.taxon	description	The epithet ‘ filiforme’, perhaps denoting ‘ filiform flowering scape’ (Wight Icones no. 1642, top bottom figure) is again more referable to D. microchilos Dalzell, but applying D. filiforme to either D. microchilos, or E. nana will cause several nomenclatural changes. Hence to avoid future uncertainty, the popular use of D. dalzellii over D. filiforme (nom. confus.) is accepted here and following an updated circumscription of Porpax by Ng et al. (2018), the new combination Porpax dalzellii is proposed. In our search for original material of Dendrobium dalzellii, the authors failed to locate Dalzell’s collection referred to in the protologue ‘ from Ram Ghât’ as well as other material that Dalzell had utilized prior to describing the species; consequently, it was necessary to look for a suitable neotype. We could locate several Dalzell, Stocks & Law specimens of D. dalzellii, perhaps examined by Dalzell, Hooker, and Lindley and housed at K, CAL, and GOET. The sheets at K (K 000260025, K 000883997, K 000883993, K 000883994, K 000883995) appear to be mixed collections of D. dalzellii and D. microchilos from the different localities of Bombay and Concan, thus not suitable as a neotype. The sheet at CAL (CAL 0000081379) has a ticket as ‘ Herb. N. Dalzell, Bombay’ and has a total of 14 plants of D. dalzellii pasted on it, but it doesn’t seem to have been Dalzell’s own collection and is excluded. Similarly, two sheets at GOET (GOET 013849, GOET 013850), collected by Stocks & Law from Malabar and Concan, lack Dalzell’s annotation and are not considered part of the original material. One more sheet at K (K 000881643) presented by Mrs. Dalzell in 1878 has a label ‘ Eria’ in Dalzell’s handwriting, which perhaps appears to have been labelled after Lindley’s publication in 1858. This specimen comprising 22 – 23 plants mounted on a single sheet, is selected as the neotype. 4. Dendrobium microchilos Dalzell, Hooker’s J. Bot. Kew Gard. Misc. 3: 345. 1851.

039287BEFFA1E706FF30FE89FC61FD55.taxon	description	A specimen at K (K 000260025) with Dalzell’s annotation as D. microchilos is mixed with Porpax dalzellii, hence, we have not chosen it as a lectotype. The specimens at GH (GH 00090173) and CAL (CAL 0000081376) are also missing Dalzell’s annotation and are a mixture of two different species. In the absence of any original material, another specimen at K (K 0008839993) with four plants mounted on the top left corner, labelled by J. D. Hooker as ‘ 167. D. microchilos Bombay presidency, Dalzell’, is selected here as the neotype. It is one of the collections perhaps sorted and numbered by J. E. Stocks (see the discussion under J. E. Stocks labels on orchids in Western India). 5. Dendrobium nodosum Dalzell, Hooker’s J. Bot. Kew Gard. Misc. 4: 292. 1852. Neotype (designated here): INDIA, s. loc., s. d., Dalzell (ex Herb. Stocks 30) (K [K 001085563!]). An epiphytic orchid, endemic to southern India and Sri Lanka (fide Seidenfaden 1980), often confused with Dendrobium macraei Lindl., but can be recognized by its oblong pseudobulbs and axillary, solitary flowers with linear sepals and petals. The original material precisely from ‘ Ram Ghaut’ with Dalzell’s annotation as ‘ Dendrobium nodosum ’ is not traceable. Two sheets of Dalzell’s collection are housed at K, labelled by J. E. Stocks (Orchidae no. 30), and one of them has been annotated or labelled by Dalzell. The sheet K 000960025 has a small packet wherein a dissected flower has been kept, the same has probably been illustrated by Lindley. The other sheet K 001085563 has four specimens pasted on it and has different labels: ‘ Herb. Stocks’ (possibly purchased by Sir William Hooker), an engraved label ‘ Herb. Hook fil. & Thomson’ (perhaps after 1855 when Joseph Hooker & Thomson were writing Flora Indica), and Stocks pencil label as ‘ Orchideae no. 30, specimen from Dalzell’. It also has a packet marked with the pencil pointing to the extreme right specimen and contains a fragmented flower, it has been designated here as the neotype. 6. Dendrochilum roseum Dalzell, Hooker’s J. Bot. Kew Gard. Misc. 4: 291. 1852, non (Swartz, 1805). Neotype (designated here): INDIA, s. loc., s. d., Dalzell s. n. (K!)	en	S.

039287BEFFA1E709FCB9FCDEFEF4F9B2.taxon	description	Schuiteman et al. (2022) and online databases such as POWO and Tropicos listed D. lawanum (incl. D. roseum) under the synonymy of D. crepidatum Lindl. & Paxton. However, D. lawanum is quite distinct from D. crepidatum by its unidirectional curving stems, white flowers faintly tinged with pink or lilac, obscure mentum, and slightly clawed lip base, without a yellow patch (Jalal, 2018). The epithet ‘ lawanum’ is often used (Santapau & Kapadia, 1966; Jalal, 2018) as ‘ lawianum’ which is an error. 7. Eria uniflora Dalzell, Hooker’s J. Bot. Kew Gard. Misc. 4: 111. 1852.

039287BEFFAEE708FF09F9F7FD85FB2A.taxon	description	An epiphytic orchid endemic to India can be easily distinguished from other species by pseudobulbs close to and completely masking the rhizome, presence of a loose net-like reticulate sheath on pseudobulbs, presence of leaves during flowering, a singular flower, acute to acuminate sepals and petals, and a distinctly 3 - lobed lip (Agrawala, 2009). Three sheets and a line drawing housed at K refer to Eria uniflora Dalzell. The sheet (K 000827409) has four specimens and two flowers with Dalzell’s label as ‘ Dendrobium which I propose to be called uniflorum ’. In the absence of the name Eria uniflora, it is not selected as the lectotype. The sheet K 000260013 has sixteen specimens and is labelled in Dalzell’s hand as ‘ Eria uniflora ’. As it bears William Hooker’s annotation as ‘ Bombay Dalzell’ it appears to have been communicated by Dalzell himself to Hooker, and hence selected here as the lectotype. Another sheet at K, has three stamps of ‘ Herbarium Hookerianum’ which indicates that it must be the gathering of three different collections: two of them, K 000827405 and K 000827406 belong to Dalzell; the latter has two labels: one label is in Dalzell’s hand, ‘ Eria uniflora mihi in Hook. Jour. ’, while the other labels are in Stocks’s hand, ‘ Concan on trees in the rainy season on the Ghauts’. Orchidae no. 24 ’. Whereas collection K 000827405 has a label in Dalzell’s hand that says ‘ Orchideous parasite begins to sprout in May & flowers in June / Mahabaleshwar’. Both collections may have reached K through Stocks. The line drawing at K from ‘ Icones Stocks’ has been annotated in pencil by J. E. Stocks’ as ‘ Eria reticosa Wight’ and ‘ Eria uniflora Dalz. ’ Lindley (1858), while transferring his Dendrobium braccatum into Eria, cited E. reticosa and E. uniflora as synonyms. The treatment was then often followed by some authors (Fischer, 1928; Nayar et al., 2014 as ‘ Conchidium braccatum’). However, E. braccata can be distinguished from E. reticosa by the absence of a net-like, reticulate sheath on pseudobulbs, obtuse to sub-acute sepals and petals, and an obscurely 3 - lobed lip (Agrawala, 2009). Dalzell was unaware of Wight’s E. reticosa and published E. uniflora barely a year later. Afterwards, he realised the priority of E. reticosa over the latter and published a note in the same publication reducing E. uniflora to E. reticosa. Following Agrawala (2009) and the recent circumscription of Porpax by Ng et al. (2018) and Schuiteman (2020), E. reticosa has been maintained here as Porpax reticosa.	en	S.

039287BEFFAFE708FF30FB7EFB2BFED1.taxon	description	Three sheets are housed at K and DD. The sheet K 000078323 has Dalzell’s label as ‘ Eulophia bicolor ’, the ‘ Herbarium Hookerianum stamp’ and Hooker’s annotation as ‘ Bombay Dalzell’. Although the name E. bicolor is crossed out by someone, the remarks by Robert Allen Rolfe (R. A. R) on the sheet clearly suggest the specimen is the type of Eulophia bicolor. We have therefore selected this sheet as the lectotype. Another collection at K presented by Mrs. Dalzell is yet to be digitized, it does not bear Dalzell’s annotations. The specimen at DD (172598) is perhaps a duplicate of the latter. 9. Habenaria candida Dalzell, Hooker’s J. Bot. Kew Gard. Misc. 2: 262. 1850.

Another sheet (not yet digitized) at K, also has three specimens, the right two specimens labelled by Dalzell, and a label in Stocks’ hand ‘ Orchideae no. 11 ’. The sheet with barcode K 000247458 has seven specimens with the label ‘ Habenaria candida ’ in Dalzell’s hand and Hooker’s annotation as ‘ Bombay Dalzell’, which is chosen here as the lectotype. 10.

039287BEFFAFE70BFCB9FA04FB2AFA18.taxon	description	The species was overlooked for more than a century until Hooker (1890) listed it as an imperfectly known species. It might be because of the unusual character like cuneate, truncate lateral lip lobes for the genus Habenaria. It became well known as Peristylus stocksii (Hook. f.) Kraenzl., nevertheless, recently it has been found to be conspecific with P. caranjensis and relegated to synonymy (Ormerod & Kumar, 2018). The sheet K 000387524 has a label in Dalzell’s hand as ‘ small yellow flowered Habenaria spp. undescribed, Dronagheree, July 1848, vide drawing’; the annotation ‘ Concan Stocks’ seems to have been added afterwards, which was chosen as a neotype by Ormerod and Kumar (2018). However, we were not able to trace the drawing mentioned on the label. 11. Habenaria diphylla Dalzell in Hooker’s J. Bot. Kew Gard. Misc. 2: 262. 1850. Lectotype (designated here): INDIA, Bombay, s. d., Dalzell s. n. (K!); Residual syntypes: (K, without barcode!; GH [GH 00099782 digital image!]). Fig. 5 This terrestrial orchid is widespread in India and Southeast Asia and can be recognized in the field by its ground appressed two leaves, entire petals, much longer lateral lobes, and a shorter mid-lobe. Three sheets and a line drawing housed at K and GH can be referred to as Dalzell’s Habenaria diphylla; the collection at K is yet to be digitized. One sheet has Stocks label ‘ authentic specimens from Dalzell himself, Orchidae no. 8 ’. The other sheet has Dalzell’s label ‘ Habenaria diphylla ’, which agrees with the protologue and is selected here as the lectotype. A sheet at GH (GH 00099782), distributed from K, also has Dalzell’s label as ‘ Habenaria diphylla mihi in Hook. Jour. ’ perhaps a collection made after 1850.	en	S. P., Bramhadande, Nandikar, M.

039287BEFFACE70CFCB2FA6CFD2FF964.taxon	description	The illustration of H. ovalifolia (Wight 1851: t. 1708), portrayed equal sepals and petals, which appears to be an error by the artist. The bracts in H. modesta vary, either shorter or equal to the ovary, which was depicted contrastingly in the protologues of H. modesta (bracts half of the ovary) and H. ovalifolia (shorter than the ovary). In the drawing maintained at BM referring to Dalzell’s collection, the enlarged flower shows the bract is equal to the ovary, which is also shown in the original material of H. ovalifolia. The drawing housed at BM is from Dalzell’s collection and agrees with the description of H. modesta which is designated here as the neotype. Hooker (1890) considered H. modesta similar to H. stenostachya (Lindl. ex Benth.) Benth. (= Platanthera stenostachya Lindl. ex Benth.) but placed it as an ‘ imperfectly known species’. Habenaria modesta shares similarities with H. stenostachya in its trilobed lip and short broad obtuse mid-lobe. However, it differs by its aggregated leaves near the base, shorter or equal bracts, and a longer spur. Cooke (1908) erroneously reduced H. modesta to the synonymy of H. stenopetala Lindl. (Fig. 3 i), however, the former can be differentiated from the latter by its entire petals, together with dorsal sepal form galea (bipartite, free from galea), green to greenish white lip (greenish to brown, or ochreous), mid-lobe of the lip shorter than lateral lobes, and incurved (longer than lateral lobes). Habenaria ovalifolia Wight has been reduced to the synonymy of H. furcifera Lindl. (Fig. 3 f) (POWO 2023) which is corrected here and considered conspecific to H. modesta. Habenaria furcifera has longer filiform lateral lip lobes, broader mid-lobe free from galea, and hamate spur as opposed to sub-equal lip lobes, whereas H. modesta has linearlanceolate acute lateral lobes, an ovate-oblong mid-lobe coherent with galea and a filiform faintly bulged clavate spur, hence the latter is treated here as distinct. 14.

039287BEFFABE70FFCB9F8B8FE1AFA64.taxon	description	Bokil et al. (2019) lectotypified Micropera viridiflora, but while doing so, they erroneously cited the locality as ‘ Koyana valley, Mahabaleshwar, Satara District’ which appears to be copied from Cooke’s collection, possibly made in May 1892 (K 001222283). Similarly, the isolectotype choice presented by Bokil et al. (2019) is also excluded here. The remaining collection of M. viridiflora by Dalzell housed at K (K 001222284: with Stocks label ‘ Orchideae no. 26 ’) may not be a single gathering. 18. Peristylus elatus Dalzell, Hooker’s J. Bot.

039287BEFFA8E70EFCB2FD7BFEF5FD39.taxon	description	We could locate three sheets and two drawings of Sarcanthus peninsularis housed at K and GH. The sheet K 000942275 has been labelled by Dalzell as ‘ Sarcanthus peninsularis mihi … ’ It also has pencil illustrations of flower parts. The remaining sheet at K is not digitized yet, and it has Stocks’ label ‘ Orchideae no. 35 ’. A sheet from Harvard (GH 00103899) has Dalzell’s label in the same ink as in sheet at K (K 000942275), but the only difference in the GH sheet is that Dalzell has written ‘ in Hook. Jour. ’, which perhaps was collected later, after the publication of the species. As in the protologue, Dalzell mentioned ‘ Ic. ined. ’, which is referrable to colour drawing at K with an annotation as ‘ Sarcanthus peninsularis mihi’, the habit of drawing agreeing with the top right specimen on K 000942275. After comparing drawings and, specimens of S. peninsularis, a sheet at K (K 000942275) that is unequivocally in agreement with the description is designated here as the lectotype.	en	S.

039287BEFFA8E70FFF09FA20FA88FD2F.taxon	description	The original material of Peristylus elatus is traced at K. The sheets with barcodes K 000387509 and K 000387510 have Dalzell’s labels as ‘ Peristylus elata ’ and ‘ Peristylus elatus’ and Hooker’s annotation as ‘ Bombay Dalzell’. The latter, which is more precise and has pencil illustrations of flower parts, is selected here as the lectotype. Another sheet (yet to be digitized) has mixed collections from Dalzell and Law and has Stocks’ orchid label ‘ Orchideae no. 43 ’. 19. Sarcanthus peninsularis Dalzell, Hooker’s J. Bot. Kew Gard.
