03D587A8A3448B5F2EFBFB422B58F9CB.taxon	discussion	Note: — Govaerts et al. (2016) treated Ixora monticola Gamble as an unplaced name. However, the species is quite distinct from other species in its leaf shape, inflorescence and fruits. The species resembles I. cuneifolia Roxburgh (1820: 390), but it can be easily distinguished from the latter by the head having 150 – 200 flowers per head (not 114 – 125), peduncle 2 – 8 mm (not 8 – 53 mm) long, bracts lanceolate (not linear), calyx-lobes linear (not ovate – triangular), anthers 2 – 3 mm (not 3 – 4 mm) long and styles 6.5 – 11.5 mm (not 8.5 – 17 mm) long.	en	Kottaimuthu, Ramalingam (2016): Ixora ravikumarii, a new name for Ixora monticola Gamble (Rubiaceae: Ixoroideae).
