Notes: 
Murdered in Rangoon Maingay's herbarium was distributed from Kew after his death. Judging from the material in the Kew herbarium, the Kew distribution numbers pay little attention to Maingay's original collection numbers and more than one gathering is often included under the same distribution number. Therefore the type status of specimens should not be decided based solely on the Kew distribution number. (Turner, I.M. Nordic Journal of Botany Vol 28, 3, 267, June 2010)
