Notes: — Hooker (1893) described Anadendrum latifolium based on the three collections viz., Scortechini 577 b and Kings’ collector 5961 & 8323 collected from the Perak region of Malay Peninsula. There are 6 specimens available in 4 herbaria viz., Scortechini, B., Coll. No. 577 b [K 000401076]; King’s collector, Coll. No. 5961, [K 000401077, image!; SING 0043211, image!], King’s collector, Coll. No. 8323 [K 000401078, image!, BM 000957215, image!] and a single herbarium sheet (possibly the Scortechini collection without any number) with a line drawing and a collection number of 577 b is available at CAL. Of these, the better preserved specimen K 000401076 from Kew herbarium, is designated here as the lectotype as it agrees well with the protologue.	en	Rasingam, Ladan, Karthigeyan, Kaliyamurthy (2021): Notes on the distribution of Anadendrum latifolium (Araceae) in India and its lectotypification.
