Manudev, K.M. & S. Nampy (2016). Lectotypification of Arisaema consanguineum Schott (Araceae). Candollea 71: 23–26. In English, English abstract. DOI : http://dx.doi.org/10.15553/c2016v711a5

The genus Arisaema Mart. is the largest genus of Araceae in India with 48 species and 13 infraspecific taxa. While updating the nomenclature of the genus in India, the authors found ambiguity in the typification of Arisaema consanguineum Schott. The designation of authentic type material by earlier authors was not satisfying. Therefore, a lectotype is designated here on a Joseph Dalton Hooker collection from Sikkim in India preserved at CAL.
