Treatment

Utricularia gibba View in CoL L., Sp. Pl. View Cited Treatment 1: 18 (1753). – Type: Clayton 515 & 517 (lectotype BM

[BM000098329], designated by Taylor, Kew Bull. 18: 197 [1964]).

Utricularia biflora Roxb., Fl. Ind. View in CoL 1: 144 (1820), nom. illegit., non U. biflora Lam. (1791) View in CoL , nec U. biflora Nutt. (1818) View in CoL . – Utricularia diantha Roxb. ex Schult., Mant. View in CoL 1: 169 (1822). – Utricularia roxburghii Spreng., Syst. Veg. View in CoL 1: 52 (1824), nom. illegit., superfl. – Type: W. Roxburgh s.n. (lectotype BM [BM000997634], designated by Taylor, Gen. Utricularia View in CoL 574 [1989]).

Utricularia roxburghii Spreng. View in CoL is illegitimate because Schultes had already provided a replacement name for Roxburgh’s later homonym Utricularia biflora View in CoL .

Vachellia eburnea (L.f.) P.J.H.Hurter & Mabb., Pl.-Book, ed. 3, 1021 (2008). – Mimosa eburnea L.f., Suppl. Pl. 437 (1782). – Acacia eburnea (L.f.) Willd., Sp. Pl., ed. 4, 4(2): 1081 (1806). – Type: 1777, J.G. Koenig s.n. (lectotype LINN [LINN-HL 1228.24], designated by Ali in Nasir & Ali, Fl. W. Pakistan 36: 14 [1973]).

Acacia roxburghii Wight & Arn., Prodr. Fl. Ind. Orient. View in CoL 1: 276 (1834). – Type: Herb. Banks (n.v.).

Wight and Walker-Arnott described Acacia roxburghii View in CoL apparently based on Roxburgh’s description and illustration of Mimosa eburnea View in CoL and a specimen in Banks’s herbarium that should now be in BM. The wording seems to indicate that this was a Roxburgh specimen, but I have failed to find it. I leave the typification unresolved in case the missing specimen is located in future.

Vanda tessellata (Roxb.) Hook. ex G.Don in Loudon, Hort. Brit. 372 (1830). – Epidendrum tessellatum Roxb., Pl. Coromandel View in CoL 1: 34, t. 42 (1795). – Type: [published illustration] ‘ Epidendrum tesselletum’, Roxburgh, Pl. Coromandel 1: t. 42 (1795) (lectotype designated here).

Vanda roxburghii R.Br., Bot. Reg. 6: t. 506 (1820). – Type: W. Roxburgh s.n. (lectotype BM [000538864(BM)], designated here).

Cymbidium tesselloides Roxb., Fl. Ind. View in CoL 3: 463 (1832), as ‘tessaloides’. – Type: W. Roxburgh s.n. (lectotype BM [000538864(BM)], designated here).

Robert Brown validated the generic name Vanda View in CoL and its type Vanda roxburghii R.Br. View in CoL This was largely based on Roxburgh’s manuscript description of Cymbidium tesselloides View in CoL , a name that was validated in the 1832 publication of Flora Indica . The species names of Brown and Roxburgh are here both lectotypified to the same Roxburgh specimen in BM. They are synonyms of Vanda tessellata (Roxb.) Hook. ex G.Don View in CoL , which is also lectotypified here, with Roxburgh’s published plate selected as lectotype.
