Lectotypification of four Polygonatum (Asparagaceae) names published by JG Baker

Herein, I propose lectotypes for four species names in Polygonatum (Asparagaceae) published by J.G. Baker. A second-step lectotype is designated for P. cathcartii, and lectotypes for P. griffithii and P. oppositifolium var. decipiens, as well as the holotype inadvertently designated for P. hookeri is corrected to lectotype.

This paper proposes lectotypes for four species names in Polygonatum (Asparagaceae) published by J.G. Baker. A second-step lectotype is designated for P. cathcartii, and lectotypes for P. griffithii and P. oppositifolium var. decipiens are established, while the holotype mistakenly designated for P. hookeri is corrected to lectotype.
