NOTE. — Baillon based his Stephanoluma rugosa on “ Sideroxylon rugosum A.DC. […] (non Roem. et Sch.)”. Actually, “ Sideroxylon rugosum A.DC.” is not a name; it is a misinterpretation of Sideroxylon rugosum (Sw.) Roem. & Schult. by Candolle. Therefore, Stephanoluma rugosa is a new name, and its authorship is Baill., not “(A.DC.) Baill.”
