Note.

Schot (1994: 20) selected a specimen at K (and a “type” at L), collected by Thomas Horsfield in Java, as the type of Padbruggea dasyphylla , however, the thirteen small leaflets per leaf, obtuse apices, revolute margins and dense, brown pubescence suggests this is Padbruggea maingayi (see below) not P. dasyphylla . Moreover, Miquel’s protologue only specified as type " Derris? tomentella Blume in Herb. L. B." with the additional information "Banjoemas [Banyumas], op den Salak, in de bosschen bij Tapos, 1000ft". A search in the Herbarium at L (G. Thijsse pers. comm.) has uncovered two Blume specimens from Java annotated " Derris tomentella Bl.". Carl Ludwig Blume was director of the Dutch East Indies Botanic Garden at Buitenzorg [Bogor] from 1823-1826. He collected these specimens on nearby Mount Salak and around the village of Tapos in April 1825. One of these two specimens is used to lectotypify the name here. The annotation "A ki kialys" may refer to a local name for the plant.
