Mesua roxburghii Wight, Ill. Ind. Bot. View in CoL 1: 127 (1838). – Type : R. Wight s.n. (lectotype K [ K000677299 ], designated here).

Wight’s Mesua roxburghii View in CoL was based in part on Roxburgh’s description of Mesua ferrea View in CoL L. but also other material available to Wight. A Wight specimen in K is here designated as lectotype.

Micropera pallida Lindl. , Edward’s Bot. Reg. 18: sub t. 1522 (1832). – Sarcochilus roxburghii Hook.f., Fl. Brit. View in CoL India 6(17): 36 (1890). – Type : [unpublished illustration] Icones Roxburghianae 2349 (lectotype K, designated by Seidenfaden, Opera Bot. 95: 123 [1988]).

Sarcochilus roxburghii Hook.f. View in CoL is a replacement name in Sarcochilus View in CoL for Micropera pallida Lindl. View in CoL because the direct transfer was blocked by Sarcochilus pallidus (Blume) Rchb.f. Seidenfaden View in CoL surmised that Lindley’s description was based solely on Roxburgh’s drawing, but Lindley wrote ‘Among the collections of Dr Wallich are the following new genera’, indicating that he had seen specimens.

Miliusa dioeca (Roxb.) Chaowasku, Willdenowia View in CoL 43: 104 (2013). – Uvaria dioeca Roxb., Fl. Ind. View in CoL 2: 659 (1832) [14 i 1832]. – Hyalostemma roxburghianum Wall., Numer. List.

(lectotype BM [BM000595529], designated by Chaowasku, Willdenowia 43: 104 [2013]).

Hyalostemma roxburghianum Wall. View in CoL is a superfluous name for Uvaria dioeca Roxb. View in CoL

Mischocarpus pentapetalus (Roxb.) Radlk., Sitzungsber. Math. -Phys. Cl. Königl. Bayer. Akad. Wiss. München 9: 646 (1879). – Schleichera pentapetala Roxb., Fl. Ind.
