Notes: — Ammannia vesicatoria was first proposed in Hortus Bengalensis (1814), and legitimately published in Roxburgh’s Flora Indica (1820). The original Roxburgh collections associated with the name could not be located in the herbaria where Roxburgh specimens are deposited. Here, we designate Roxburgh’s drawing no. 35, available in CAL, as the lectotype following article 9.3 of ICN ( Turland et al. 2018).
