Pterocarpus draco Linnaeus, Species Plantarum, ed. 2, 2: 1662. 1763, nom. illeg.

"Habitat in India." RCN: 5169.

Replaced synonym: Pterocarpus officinalis Jacq. (1763) .

Type not designated.

Current name: Pterocarpus officinalis Jacq. ( Fabaceae: Faboideae).

Note: An illegitimate replacement name for the earlier Pterocarpus officinalis Jacq. (5 Jan 1763). Airy Shaw (in Kew Bull. 1937: 63. 1937) wrongly treated the Commelin plate, cited by Linnaeus but not by Jacquin, as the type.
