Treatment

Ziziphus rugosa Lam., Encycl. View in CoL 3(1): 319 (1789). – Type: P. Sonnerat s.n. (lectotype P-LA

[IDC6207 LM-127/8], designated by Turner, Taxon 70: 424 [2021]).

Ziziphus tomentosa Roxb., Fl. Ind. View in CoL 2: 360 (1824), nom. illegit., non Z. tomentosa Poir. (1813) View in CoL . – Ziziphus roxburghiana Voigt, Hort. Suburb. Calcutt. View in CoL 146 (1845). – Type: not traced.

Ziziphus roxburghiana Voigt View in CoL represents a replacement name for Roxburgh’s later homonym.

I have not traced any original material for Ziziphus tomentosa Roxb. , so leave the typification open.

In addition to the above, three species of fungi and a fig wasp are indirectly named after Roxburgh because they have epithets reflecting the reported host plant, which was then named after Roxburgh. These are, with host species in parentheses:

Aplosporella roxburghii Tassi , as ‘ Haplosporella ’ ( Chavica roxburghii ) Cercospora roxburghii Purkay. & Mallik ( Carum roxburghii )

Multifurca roxburghii Buyck & V.Hofst. ( Pinus roxburghii )

Sycoscapter roxburghi (Joseph) syn. Sycoryctes roxburghi Joseph ( Ficus roxburghii ).
