Abstract
The grass genus Iseilema Andersson (1856: 250) comprises ca. 20 species distributed all over the world (Clayton & Renvoize 1986, Watson & Dallwitz 1992). Among them, 5 species are known to occur in India (Bor 1960). While studying the genus, we could notice that some species have neither holotype available nor lectotype designated. Lectotypes for three names in the genus are designated here from the available original material following article 9.3 and article 9.12 of the Shenzhen Code (Turland et al. 2017).
