Nomenclatural notes.

In the protologue of Jasminum anodontum , Gagnepain (1933a) referred to two gatherings without citing any field number. The first referred to the collections made by E. Poilane from Ca-na, Phanrang (presently Ninh Thuận) in Annam (present-day Vietnam). Whereas the second referred to the collections made by C. Thorel at Bien-hoa, (Dong Nai Province) from Cochinchine (presently in South Vietnam). However, Gagnepain (1933b), in his other publication, only cited the specimens collected by Thorel viz. C. Thorel 943 as the original material. We could find this specimen in duplicate at A (A00105304, A00105305), indicated as isosyntypes by P.S. Green. We found some other of Thorel’s specimens P00644260, P00644261, P00644262 (all bearing the same number - C. Thorel 949) at P. One of them (P00644260) has the original drawings of the dissected floral parts by Gagnepain. A critical survey of literature and herbarium specimens revealed that earlier workers ( Green 2000, 2003; Ho 2000; Tran 2003) did not designate lectotype for J. anodontum . Among all of them, we found P00644260 to represent the species best as per the protologue and, therefore, we designate this specimen here as the lectotype of J. anodontum following Arts. 9.3 and 9.11 of the Shenzhen Code ( Turland et al. 2018). Thorel’s specimens at A are either incomplete or in fruiting, not representing all characters as per the protologue. Therefore, they are designated here as syntypes.

Ecology and phenology.

Forest along the roadside, often near the water source. Flowering in January-February, fruiting in March -April.

Distribution.

Thailand, Vietnam, (Dak Lak (Dak Mil, Dak Minh), Ninh Thuan (Thuan Nam), Binh Thuan (Phan Thiet), Dong Nai (Bien Hoa City, Vinh Cuu Dong Nai Nature-Culture Reserve). Provinces.
