03A6090DFFCEA0653ADFF8EE3E78A7C9.taxon	discussion	Notes: — Maesa sleumeri is different from all other New Guinean Maesa species (Sleumer 1987). The New Guinea plant (M. sleumeri) can be easily differentiate from the Thailand plant (Fletcher’s M. lineolata) by following characters: obovate – broadly oblong leaves, recurved leaf margins, obtuse leaf apex, 2 – 5 cm long, thick petiole, 5 – 6 (– 7) lateral vein, 1 – 2 or 6 - flowered, axillary simple racemose inflorescence, 1 – 2.5 cm long, filiform pedicle and c. 9 mm across, urceolate, glabrous corolla.	en	Devanathan, Krishanamoorthy, Dhatchanamoorthy, Narayanasamy (2024): A new name Maesa sleumeri for Maesa lineolata Sleumer and lectotypification of Maesa lineolata H.

03A6090DFFCCA0663ADFFF423D00A7FC.taxon	discussion	Nomenclatural Note: — Fletcher published the name M. lineolata in 1936 based on Kerr’s collection from Wangka of Thailand. There are four sheets with Kerr collection number 10496 available in BK (BK 257226), BM (BM 000997061), E (E 00284652) and K (K 000756251) and all the sheets containing hand written name of M. lineolata by H. R. Fletcher. He also written on the label as type in sheet number K 000756251, co-type in sheet number E 00284652 and without mentioning typification details on other two sheets (BK 257226; BM 000997061). The typification of the name M. lineolata by Fletcher is ambiguity. Hence, single sheet with the barcode number BM 000997061 selected as lectotype, since it is consists of single material, well preserved as well as having key identification information including entire leaf and inflorescence. Other collections housed at BK (BK 257226), BM (BM 000997061) and E (E 00284652) selected as Isolectotype according to the Article 9.17 of ICN (Turland et al. 2018).	en	Devanathan, Krishanamoorthy, Dhatchanamoorthy, Narayanasamy (2024): A new name Maesa sleumeri for Maesa lineolata Sleumer and lectotypification of Maesa lineolata H.
