Leong-Škorničková & al. (in Taxon 64: 369. 2015) cited Jaffray s.n. (K) as the lectotype of Kaempferia involucrata King ex Baker selected by Smith (in Edinburgh J. Bot. 48: 24. 1991) and they designated an unpublished illustration “Kaempferia involucrata King // Ic. Herb. Calcutta Copied by G. E. H. 1890” [handwritten] at K as the epitype and stated that it at least partly served J.G. Baker for his description, which means it is a part of original material. In our opinion the name should have been re-lectotypified with the given illustration instead of designating it as the epitype. However, there is no provision in Art. 9.19 in doing so. So we are proposing the amendments as follows.
