Lectotypification of Fimbristylis diphylloides (Cyperaceae)

Abstract

Makino (1925) described Fimbristylis diphylloides Makino (Cyperaceae) with a short Japanese description, without any citation of specimens and localities. Tuyama (1935) gave a detailed description of F. diphylloides in Latin, citing several specimens, but he did not designate any types. A specimen, Makino might have considered as a new species by his own handwriting, was discovered in TI. The specimen is designated as the lectotype of F. diphylloides Makino.
