Abstract
The basionym Anplectrum assamicum C.B. Clarke of Pseudodissochaeta assamica (C.B. Clarke) Nayar was published in 1879. However, it was not validly published as per article 36.1 of International Code of Nomenclature, and continuous use of the invalid name in taxonomy creates more invalid names if transferred to other ranks. The name also warrants epitypification to avoid any ambiguity in the application of names. Herein I designate an epitype and discuss some issues in the lectotypification of the name.
