03BC6E64AE518C163241DE05A7DB84F4.taxon	discussion	NOTES Baker (1890) described this species based on specimens collected by “ King’s Collector ” with number “ 2414 ” from “ Perak ” (Malaysia) at an altitude of 2000 - 3000 ft. While searching for specimens we could locate only three such specimens, two at CAL and one at K; which comply with the details provided in the protologue. Therefore, all these specimens are considered as original material, and as well as the syntypes, vide Art. 9.4 and 9.6 of ICN (Turland et al. 2018). Among these, K 000255299 bears original remarks as mentioned in the protologue that, this species is close to the G. schomburgkii Hook. f., which was published in Curtis’s Botanical Magazine (Hooker 1877) with plate no. “ 6298 ”. Additionally, this is a better-preserved specimen than the other traced original specimens, bearing flowers and fruits, which concur with the description provided in the protologue. Hence, K 000255299 is selected as the lectotype for the name Globba brachycarpa Baker in conformity with the Art. 9.3, 9.4 and 9.12 of the Shenzhen Code (Turland et al. 2018).	en	Maity, Rohan, Dash, Sudhansu Sekhkar, Mitra, Aishwaryya, Debta, Manas Ranjan (2026): Typifications of four names in Globba L.

03BC6E64AE518C16309CDA80A635808B.taxon	discussion	NOTES Baker (1890) while compiling the genus Globba for the Flora of British India, described this as one of the two imperfectly known species of this genus to him, as he mentions “ anthers not seen ”! As already discussed, anther appendage played a crucial role in delimiting the taxonomy of the genus throughout the time. However, this species was still described relying upon the other available characters based on the specimens collected by J. S. Law from “ Canara ” [Karnataka] in India. While searching for specimens, we could locate five such specimens (three at K, one at L and one at P) which comply with the details provided in the protologue. Among these, K 000640603 bears the name “ Globba canarensis ” written by Baker himself and is better preserved than the other found original materials. The same sheet also bears a label of lectotype annotated by K. Williams at 2002; however, no published article or data could be traced dealing with the typification of this name. Therefore, this annotation cannot be regarded as a valid lectotypification and the name is still to be treated as untypified. Therefore, in the present circumstances, K 000640603 is selected as the lectotype for the name G. canarensis Baker in accordance with the Art. 9.3, 9.4 and 9.12 of the Shenzhen Code (Turland et al. 2018).	en	Maity, Rohan, Dash, Sudhansu Sekhkar, Mitra, Aishwaryya, Debta, Manas Ranjan (2026): Typifications of four names in Globba L.

03BC6E64AE518C1D309DDD65A11D87B5.taxon	discussion	NOTES Baker (1890) described this species based on specimens collected by “ King’s Collector ” with number “ 376 ” from “ Andaman Islands ” in India. While searching for specimens we located eight such specimens (seven at CAL and one at PBL) which comply with the details provided in the protologue. Among these, CAL 0000000886 is a better-preserved specimen and, also contains a flower on the sheet and fruits in the voucher folder which are essential for the identification of this taxon. Additionally, the sheet bears original annotations of flowers having “ anthers with 2 - lateral appendages which are bifid ”. As mentioned earlier, anther crests or appendages being essential for identification of Globba species as well as for their placement in infrageneric groups, this information bears immense importance. To ascertain the correct identity and unambiguous nomenclatural use, typification of this name becomes essential. Hence, CAL 0000000886 is selected as the lectotype for the name Globba pauciflora in conformity with the Art. 9.3, 9.4 and 9.12 of the Shenzhen Code (Turland et al. 2018) for owing to its best preserved condition amongst the other original materials and being in complete compliance with the protologue.	en	Maity, Rohan, Dash, Sudhansu Sekhkar, Mitra, Aishwaryya, Debta, Manas Ranjan (2026): Typifications of four names in Globba L.

NOTES Baker (1890) described this species as the second imperfectly known species of this genus to him in the Flora of British India based on specimens collected by J. S. Law from “ Canara ” [Karnataka] in India with details as mentioned “ Hk. f. & Thoms. Herb. Ind. Or. 14 ”. Despite of unknown anther appendage structure, based on its other morphological traits, Baker described this as a distinct species in a similar manner to G. canarensis. We traced three such specimens (two at K, one at P) which completely agree with the details provided in the protologue. Among these, K 000640601 is a better-preserved specimen containing a flower and a fruit, and, also the handwritten annotation of “ G. platystachya Baker ” by Baker himself. Therefore, this specimen is selected as the lectotype for the name Globba platystachya Baker in conformity with the Art. 9.3, 9.4 and 9.12 of the Shenzhen Code (Turland et al. 2018).	en	Maity, Rohan, Dash, Sudhansu Sekhkar, Mitra, Aishwaryya, Debta, Manas Ranjan (2026): Typifications of four names in Globba L.
