5. Ceropegia pubescens Wallich (1831: 187) View in CoL .
Type:— NEPAL. Chandaghiry , June 1821, Wallich asclep. no. 10. (lectotype K-000014465!, here designated; isolectotype K-000014463!) .
Distribution:— Bhutan, China, India (Meghalaya, Nagaland, Sikkim and West Bengal), Myanmar, and Nepal.
Notes:— Wallich (1831) described Ceropegia pubescens on the basis of specimens collected from Chandaghiry, Nepal.Within the protologue, Wallich gave the precise locality but did not provide the date and number of the collection. Three specimens from Nepal, Wallich asclep. no. 10, were traced, two at K (K-000014463 and K-000014465) and one at E (E-00288771!). The best one, K-000014465, is designated here as the lectotype as it agrees well with the protologue.
