Only one gathering was mentioned in the original description of Cryptocarya argentea 
Gamble (Gamble, 1910: 144-145): King’s Collector 7966. As Gamble was working 
at Kew at the time he wrote this article, one of the two K specimens is selected as the 
lectotype. As sheet K001084384 has more immature fruits than K001084383, it is 
designated here as the lectotype. 
Cryptocarya infectoria (Blume) Miq., FI. Ned. Ind. 1: 924 (1858). - Cylicodaphne 
infectoria Blume, Mus. Bot. 2: 11 (1856). - TYPE: In Archipelago Indico, F.A.C. 
Waitz s.n. (lectotype L [L0036159] designated here; isolectotypes L [L0036157, 
L0036158]). 
In the original description, Blume (1856) mentioned only the F.A.C. Waitz gathering, of 
which there are three sheets available at L for lectotypification. One sheet, L0036159, 
has one whole immature fruit and a further dissected immature one, the second sheet, 
L0036158, has only an immature fruit, and the last sheet, L0036157, is sterile. The first 
specimen is designated here as the lectotype. 
Cryptocarya tomentosa Blume, Mus. Bot. 1(21): 335 (1851). - TYPE: [Indonesia] 
Java, Patuhae, C.L. Blume s.n. (lectotype L [L0036276] designated here; isolectotype 
L [L0036277]). 
In the original decription, Blume (1851) mentioned two different gatherings: one from 
the mountain Patuhae on Java and one from South Borneo. In L, two specimens of 
the former can be identified, L0036276 and L0036277, and one possible one from 
Borneo, L0036282. The specimen L0036276 has an old (but not original) label clearly 
stating that it was collected at Patuhae, while the second specimen, L0036277, is 
much smaller than the first and its label is more recent. The Borneo specimen has no 
collection data. The specimen from Java with the older label is designated here as the 
lectotype [L0036276]. 
Lindera lucida (Blume) Boerl., Handl. FI. Ned. Ind. 3: 147 (1900). - Litsea lucida 
Blume, Bijdr. FI. Ned. Ind. 11: 562 (1826). - TYPE: [Indonesia] Java, C.L. Blume s.n. 
(lectotype L [L0036501], designated here). 
In the original description, Blume (1826) only mentioned that the type specimen came 
from Java. Several gatherings from Java are present at L which Blume saw and which 
could be used for lectotypification (L0036495, L0036496, L0036497, L0036498, 
L0036499, L0036500, L0036501, L0036502). One ofthese is almost sterile, L0036495, 
while the others have several inflorescences with flowers. Sheet L0036501 bears an 
original handwritten note with the local name, which is also mentioned in the original 
description and so this specimen is designated here as the lectotype.
