- Nepeta hindostana (B.Heyne ex. Roth) Haines REMARKS Glechoma hindostana B.Heyne ex. Roth was described byRoth (1821) based on the collection of Benjamin Heyne from “Hindostana”.Later, Haines (1922) transferred the species to Nepeta and established the new name combination Nepeta hindostana (B.Heyne ex. Roth) Haines. According to Stafleu & Cowan (1983), Roth’s herbarium and types were deposited at B while other materials are known to be present at BM, DUIS, FH, GOET, HAL, JE, LD, M, S, TCD, W & WELT. We have communicated with all the aforesaid herbaria but unfortunately the type collection could not be traced. So, there is a need to choose a neotype for this name. According toStafleu & Cowan (1979), Benjamin Heyne was appointed as botanist at Samalkota and assigned to Madras presidency and later superintendent at Bangalore gardens.Heyne mainly collected plants from Coimbatore and Bangalore in South India (Stewart 1982). So, we have designated a Beddome’s collection from Nilgiris district, Tamil Nadu, South India (MH00082441) housed at Botanical Survey of India, Southern Regional Centre (MH) as neotype.
