19. Benstonea herbacea (Martelli) Callm. & Buerki, comb. nova. �� Pandanus herbaceus Martelli in Boll. Soc. Bot. Ital. 1904: 303. 1904. Lectotypus (designated here): MALAYSIA. Perak (Peninsular Malaysia): Trang, III.1881, Kunstler 1397 (FI [FI003936]image seen). Distribution and ecology. ��� Benstonea herbacea grows in lowland and mountain rainforests (600-1300 m) of northern Peninsular Malaysia and the southern part of Thailand (STONE, 1978). Observations. ��� The collection locality for the type of Pandanus herbaceus Martelli was cited as ���Irang, Penins. Malese (H. Calc.)��� (MARTELLI, 1904: 303). STONE (1978: 37) later indicated ��� coll. ignot. ���, but a fragment in Martelli���s herbarium (FI) clearly comes from the type locality cited by Martelli and was collected by H. H. Kunstler (Kunstler 1397),and should be considered as typema terial.Because the holotype inCAL was not located by B. C. Stone and appears to have been lost, the collection in FIis here designated as the lectotype.
