Abstract

The paper examines the presence/absence of type materials of the names of new taxa published from India from 1990 to 2004. Earlier, journals such as Rheedea and Nordic Journal of Botany were scanned for such publications and results summarized. The authors now scanned for new taxa published in Bulletin of the Botanical Survey of India, Candollea, Indian Forester, Indian Journal of Forestry and The Journal of Economic and Taxonomic Botany to give an inclusive analysis of the new taxa published for the said period. A consolidated account on the presence/absence of type materials is presented. Numerous inconsistencies between the data in the protologues and what is written on the on the original labels of type specimens are deliberated.
