Cyrtandra seganica Hilliard & B. L. Burtt, Gard. Bull.
Cyrtandra seganica Hilliard & B.L.Burtt, Gard. Bull. Singapore 55: 52 (2003). – Type: MALAYSIA. Sarawak, Bintulu District, Ulu Segan, 24 viii 1968, Ilias Paie S. 27215 (holotype E [E00259924]; isotypes L [L.2826374], SAR). Distribution. Sarawak (Hilliard et al., 2003). Cyrtandra serratobracteata Lauterb., Bot. Jahrb. Syst. 44: 538 (1910); Hilliard, Edinburgh J. Bot. 61: 161 (2005). – Type: INDONESIA. [Central Kalimantan], zwischen Semurung und Sungai Tarik, 18 vii 1908, Hubert Winkler 3027 (lectotype WRSL, designated here). Distribution. Kalimantan (Lauterbach, 1910; Hilliard, 2005). Notes. A revised description of this species was given in Hilliard (2005) along with comments on Lauterbach’s original description. Only one duplicate of this collection has been found, in Lauterbach’s herbarium (WRSL); Lauterbach’s handwriting is on the specimen label. We cannot be sure that Lauterbach did not view duplicates of this collection when describing this species – Hubert Winkler’s collections were distributed among several herbaria including B, P and L – and although we have not located any other duplicates in our research so far, we select the specimen in WRSL as a lectotype as we are confident that this one was seen by the author. Cyrtandra simpleX Merr., J. Malayan Branch Roy. Asiat. Soc. 1: 35 (1923); Beaman et al., Pl. Mt. Kinabalu 4: 374 (2001). – Type: MALAYSIA. British North Borneo [Sabah], Sandakan and vicinity, ix–xii 1920, Ramos 1234 (lectotype K designated here [K000831589]; isolectotypes A [A00054925], L [L.2826283], US [US 00126343]). Distribution. Sabah (Merrill, 1923a; Beaman et al., 2001). Notes. Merrill (1923a) did not specify the herbarium when selecting a type for this species, and it is probable that the top set was in PNH as that is where both Merrill and Ramos were working at the time (Merrill, 1922). This set is likely to have been destroyed during the Second World War (Thiers, continuously updated). A lectotype from the herbarium at K is selected here as it has an inflorescence at the base of the stem and a flower.
