Abstract

Actinodaphne leiophylla (Kurz) Hook.f. and A. nicobarica M.Gangop. are synonymized under A. procera Nees. The names Litsea leiophylla Kurz (basionym of A. leiophylla) and L. pruinosa Blume (replaced name of A. procera) are lectotypified. The report of A. angustifolia (Blume) Nees var. latior Nees from Great Nicobar is erroneous and the same also belongs here.

Keywords

Actinodaphne, Lectotypification, Misidentified Name, New Synonym.
