Abstract

The genus Botrychium Swartz (1801: 110) is represented by 50–60 species, distributed worldwide (Zhang et al. 2013). In India, the genus is represented by 8 taxa (Fraser- Jenkins et al. 2017). During revisionary study of the genus Botrychium in India, the authors realized the necessity to lectotypify the name Botrychium lanuginosum Wallich ex Hooker & Greville (1828: t.79) because no specific herbarium sheet is cited as holotype in the protologue and has not been lectotypified earlier (Fraser-Jenkins et al. 2017). Therefore it is lectotypified here to avoid any ambiguity in the application of the name. The guidelines of Art. 9.2 and Recommendations 9A, 9C and 9D of the ICN (McNeill et al. 2012) have been followed while designating the lectotype
