- Abstract
The correct understanding of early historical names in Hanguana is essential to facilitate taxonomic progress in this rich and widespread but taxonomically challenging group. The history of two often confused early names, Hanguana malayana and H. anthelminthica, is presented, and their identities are clarified. Hanguana malayana, a name previously applied on wide array of species across SE Asia, needs to be applied to a critically endangered solitary forest species so far confined to Penang Island, Peninsular Malaysia. A neotype is proposed for H. malayana. A lectotype is selected for H. anthelminthica, a name which has to be applied to a widely distributed stoloniferous helophyte originally described from Java. A description and a colour plate of Hanguana malayana are provided, and references to recent description and colour plates of Hanguana anthelminthica, misinterpreted in recent works as H. malayana, are given. The identity of Hanguana aquatica, treated here as a synonym of Hanguana anthelminthica, is also discussed, and the lectotype is designated. In addition, original material for the only other two early names, Hanguana kassintu and Susum minus, was located and lectotypes are designated. A new combination, Hanguana minus, is proposed here.
