Accession no. 7863. Distribution:— India, endemic (Kerala and Tamil Nadu). Notes:— Wight & Arnott (1834) described Millettia rubiginosa based on the collections of Wight (Wight 912) from Courtallum in south India. Pertaining to the type specification provided in protologue, 13 specimens were traced in various herbaria across the globe. Robert Wight was an assistant surgeon and botanist in the service of East India Company in Madras and served as superintendent of Madras Botanic Garden during 1826–1828. He returned to England on a three-years furlough due to physical problems and spent most of this period in Edinburgh to work on his material for the Prodromus (Basak 1981). G.A.W. Arnott was a botanist and Professor of Botany in the University of Glasgow from 1845 to 1868. The specimens housed at E and K must have been used by the authors to describe M. rubiginosa. Of these, K000848706 is designated here as the lectotype as it agrees well with the protologue.Published as part of Balan, Anoop Puthuparampil, Predeep, Sreevilas Vasudevan & Prakashkumar, Raveendran Pillai, 2021, Lectotypification of two names in Indian Millettia (Fabaceae-Papilionoideae), pp. 225-230 in Phytotaxa 494 (2) on page 227, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.494.2.5, http://zenodo.org/record/542340
Millettia splendens Wight & Arnott 1834

Neelgheries, Ballsar, s.d., Wight 998 (K000848703), digital image!; isolectotypes CAL0000012590, E00174565, K000848704, M0233439 and P 02141868 (digital images!) Distribution:— India, endemic (Kerala and Tamil Nadu). Notes:— Wight & Arnott (1834) described Millettia splendens based on the collection Wight 998. The collection locality and date are not mentioned in the protologue. Six specimens of M. splendens collected by Wight were traced (CAL0000012590, E00174565, K000848703, K000848704, M0233439 and P 02141868). Of these, K000848703 is chosen here as the lectotype as it well exhibits the diagnostic characters of the species mentioned in the protologue. The exact collection locality, Ballsar, Neelgheries is written on this sheet in Wight’s hand. In the specimens deposited at CAL and M, the collection number was labelled as ‘807’, which was probably a mistake happened during remounting. Wight Cat. n. 807 is Alysicarpus nummularifolius DC. (1825: 353) and 802 to 809 are pertaining to different species of Alysicarpus. The specimens in CAL and K are examined by Dunn during the revisionary studies of the genus Millettia and labelled as ‘typus’.Published as part of Balan, Anoop Puthuparampil, Predeep, Sreevilas Vasudevan & Prakashkumar, Raveendran Pillai, 2021, Lectotypification of two names in Indian Millettia (Fabaceae-Papilionoideae), pp. 225-230 in Phytotaxa 494 (2) on page 227, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.494.2.5, http://zenodo.org/record/542340
