Card. Bull. Singapore 69(1) 2017 
(Noltie, 2005). The specimen is composed of two leaves and a follicle, excluding the 
flowers in the envelope, which belong to Hoy a mitrata Kerr (Rodda, 2012). Often two 
types of leaves are present on each specimen, some agreeing with Wight description 
(palminerved) others easily separated because they are penninerved and with a thinner 
texture. As suggested by Nutt (label on [K000895124]), the flowers do not agree with 
H. latifolia as currently applied e.g. in Rintz (1978). A syntype Wall. Asclep. no. 138[B 
= Wall. Cat. 8165B] is present at K [K000895123],

Notes. A lectotype was selected in Rodda (2012). However, Rintz (1978) mentioned 
the same specimen and used the word ‘type’ which counts as an earlier lectotypification 
under Art. 9.9 of the ICN (McNeill et al., 2012). Hoya mitrata has been proposed
