REMARKS

Helichrysum leptophyllum De Candolle (1834) was formally described based on the collections from Neelgherry by Wight cat.n. 1467. De Candolle (1838) transferred Helichrysum leptophyllum to the genus Anaphalis DC and named it as Anaphalis leptophylla (DC.) DC. Seven herbarium specimens were traced from four different herbaria, which includes three sheets from the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh Herbarium (E) (E00385827, E00385828, E00385829), two sheets from K (K000899022, K000899023), one sheet from the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle, Paris (P) (P01816371) and one sheet from MH (MH00007084). Among these, the specimen E00385827 is better preserved and more complete, which is designated here as the lectotype.
