Notes.

When publishing A. fruticosus , Ridley (1908) designated L.Wray and H.C.Robinson 5453 as the type without citing a particular herbarium, only stating that the whole collection made by Robinson’s expedition should be sent to the British Museum (BM). Nayar revised Perilimnastes in 1974 and noted the specimen in BM as holotype of this species. This was probably only a speculation rather than deliberate lectotypification. In the revision of Phyllagathis , Cellinese (2002) chose a duplicate sheet in K as the lectotype, but did not include the phrase "designated here" in the typification statement, as required by Art. 7.11 of the Code ( Turland et al. 2018). The specimen sheet in BM [BM000565932] is here designated as the lectotype to eliminate any uncertainty.
