Abstract

DUNBARIA Wight & Arn. (Leguminosae) was established in 1834. Since then a number of species have been added to this genus from different regions of the Eastern and South Eastern Asia. This genus has been treated in earlier works for over a century without mention of type species. However, Hutchinson (1964) mentioned Dunbaria heynei Wight & Arn. as its lectotype species. Due to the nomenclatural changes the above species has since been transferred to the nearest related genus CAJANUS DC. Hence, a correct and proper selection of lectotype species has been necessitated for the generic name DUNBARIA Wight & Arn.
