Pl. 34: t. 3312, p. 16 (1936; no herbarium indicated): second-step lecto, designated here: K 000907201 [image seen (JSTOR 2019)]; isolecto: E 00386888 [image seen (JSTOR 2019)], MEL 2131377!)"

• Text: "Hubbard (1936) cited the type of the name Ectrosia gulliveri as ‘between Norman and Gilbert rivers, Gulliver (type)’, but did not specify a herbarium where the type is held. This is here treated as effective lectotypification by Hubbard, in accordance with ICN Art. 7.11 (Turland et al. 2018). Original mater[i]al of this name is held at E, K and MEL, and second-step lectotypification is, hereby, effected, in accordance with ICN Art. 9.17."
