REMARKS
De Candolle in Wight (1834) while describing Gnaphalium wightianum, formally mentioned the gathering of Wight Cat. n. 1471, Wall. n. 2940 in the protologue. De Candolle (1838) transferred Gnaphalium wightianum to the genus Anaphalis DC and named it as A. wightiana (DC.) DC. We traced seven specimens from different herbaria, three at K (K000899031, K001118233, K001118234), two at MH (MH00007090, MH00007091), one at E (E00414229) and one at P (P01816403). Of these, the specimen E00414229 is designated here as the lectotype of the name G. wightianum.
