Habenaria finetiana Schlechter (1919: 126) .

Type:— CHINA. Yunnan, 1882, Delavay 385 [lectotype designated here: P (P00426260 image!); isolectotype P (P00426259 image!)]; Salween valley, Prince H. d’Orleans s. n. [syntype: P (P00426258 image!)] .

Notes:— Schlechter described Habenaria finetiana based on the previously published account of two varieties ( Habenaria geniculata var. yunnanensis and H. miersiana var. yunnanensis) by Finet. H. miersiana var. yunnanensis, whose original materials are cited as Delavay 385 and d’Orleans s.n. in the protologue, is in fact the basionym of H. geniculata var. yunnanensis, which in turn is the replaced synonym of H. finetiana . In the herbarium P, we found two duplicates of Delavay 385 (P 00426260, P 00426259) and a single exsiccatum of Prince d’Orleans s.n. (P 00426258) albeit stored under H. dentata, this error may have been occurred due to the synonymy of H. geniculata for the former, in fact it was a case of status change. To come out of this confusion regarding the original material, we have designated the Delavay 385 specimen at P with the barcode P 00426260 as the lectotype and thus its duplicate P 00426259 becomes the isolectotype, while the status of d’Orleans s.n. (P 00426258) specimen remains unchanged to syntype.
