Beilschmiedia roxburghiana Nees, Pl. Asiat. Rar. 2: 69 (1831). – Type: India, Hortus

Botanicus Calcuttensis, Anon. s.n. [ EIC 2605 ] (lectotype K-W [ K001116547 ], designated by de Kok, Blumea 61: 161 [2016], isolectotypes BM [ BM000880626 ], G [ G00368746 ], K [ K000768626 ], P [ P00745639 ]) .

Berberis roxburghii (DC.) Laferr., Bot. Zhurn. 82(9): 98 (1997). – Mahonia napaulensis var. roxburghii DC., Prodr. 1: 109 (1824). – Mahonia roxburghii (DC.) Takeda , Notes Roy.

Bot. Gard. Edinburgh 6: 218 (1917). – Type: Nepalia , 1819, Anon. s.n. (lectotype G-DC [ G00201932 ], designated here) .

De Candolle based Mahonia napaulensis var. roxburghii on Berberis pinnata Roxb. ined. There is a specimen in the Prodromus Herbarium (G-DC) that is labelled ‘ Berberis pinnata Roxb. ’ and is here designated as lectotype for de Candolle’s variety.

Blyxa octandra (Roxb.) Planch. ex Thwaites, Enum. Pl. Zeyl. 332 (1864). – Vallisneria octandra Roxb., Pl. Coromandel 2: 34, t. 165 (1802). – Blyxa roxburghii Rich., Mem. Cl.

Sci. Math. Inst. Natl. France 1811(2): 23–24, 77, t. 5 (1814), nom. illegit., superfl. – Type : [published illustration] ‘ Vallisneria octandra’, Roxburgh, Pl. Coromandel 2: t. 165 (1802) (lectotype designated by Cook & Lüönd, Aquatic Bot. 15: 27 [1983]) .

Blyxa roxburghii is a superfluous renaming of Vallisneria octandra Roxb.

Bonamia semidigyna (Roxb.) Hallier f., Bot. Jahrb. Syst. 16: 528 (1893). – Convolvulus semidigynus Roxb., Fl. Ind. 2: 47 (1824). – Breweria roxburghii Choisy, Mém. Soc. Phys. Genève 6: 493 (1833), nom. illegit., superfl. – Type: East India, W. Roxburgh s.n. (lectotype K [K001081764], designated here).

Breweria roxburghii represents a superfluous renaming of Convolvulus semidigynus Roxb. A Roxburgh specimen from Forsyth’s herbarium now in K with the name in Roxburgh’s hand is here selected as lectotype for Convolvulus semidigynus Roxb.

Bonnaya antipoda (L.) Druce, Bot. Exch. Club Brit. Isles Rep. 3(5): 415 (1914). – Ruellia antipoda L., Sp. Pl. 2: 635 (1753). – Type: Herb. Hermann 2: 9, No. 235, upper specimen (lectotype BM [ BM000621524 ], designated by Philcox, Kew Bull. 17: 482 [1964]) .

Gratiola racemosa Roxb., Fl. Ind. 1: 139 (1820), nom. illegit., non G. racemosa Roth (1817) .

– Gratiola roxburghiana Schult., Mant. 1: 123 (1822). – Bonnaya roxburghiana (Schult.) A.Dietr., Sp. Pl. 1: 559 (1831). – Type: non designatus.

Schultes published Gratiola roxburghiana as a nomen novum for Roxburgh’s later homonym Gratiola racemosa . No original material for Roxburgh’s name has been found.

Bonnaya ruelloides (Colsm.) Spreng., Syst. Veg. 1: 41 (1825). – Gratiola ruelloides Colsm., Prodr. Descr. Grat.: 12 (1793). – Ilysanthes ruelloides (Colsm.) Kuntze, Revis. Gen. Pl. 2: 462 (1891). – Lindernia ruelloides (Colsm.) Pennell, Brittonia 2: 182 (1936). – Type: Java, A. Thouin s.n. (lectotype C [C10019008], designated here).

Gratiola reptans Roxb., Fl. Ind. 1: 140–141 (1820). – Bonnaya reptans (Roxb.) Spreng. ,

Syst. Veg. 1: 41 (1824). – Henckelia roxburghiana A.Dietr., Sp. Pl. , ed. 6, 1: 572 (1831).

– Lindernia reptans (Roxb.) F.Muell., Descr. Notes Papuan Pl. 2(7): 31 (1886). – Type: [unpublished illustration] Icones Roxburghianae 1516 (lectotype K, designated by Philcox, Kew Bull. 22: 54 [1968]).

Dietrich proposed Henckelia roxburghiana as a name in Henckelia for Gratiola reptans Roxb. as Henckelia reptans Spreng. was already published. Gratiola ruelloides Colsm., the basionym of the accepted name, has caused some confusion regarding its typification. Philcox (1968) and others have referred to a Koenig specimen in C as the type, but there seems not to be such a specimen. But there is a specimen from Herb. Vahl that is indicated as originating from Java and Thouin. André Thouin was head gardener at the Jardins des Plantes in Paris, so the specimen may have been cultivated in Paris from material sent from Java . This is likely to be what Colsmann cited in the protologue and is here selected as lectotype.

Bouea oppositifolia (Roxb.) Meisn., Pl. Vasc. Gen. 2: 55 (1837). – Mangifera oppositifolia Roxb., Fl. Ind. 2: 434 (1824). – Type: [unpublished illustration] Icones Roxburghianae 2190 (lectotype K, designated by Ganesan, Kew Bull. 74(Art. 56): 2 [2019]).

Bouea burmanica var. roxburghii Pierre, Fl. Forest. Cochinch. sub t. 366B (1897). – Bouea oppositifolia var. roxburghii (Pierre) Tard. - Blot, Fl. Cambodge, Laos, Vietnam 2: 128 (1962). – Type : Vietnam, austro Cochinchinae , ad Baria , in montibus Dinh , Mu Xoai, iii 1867, L. Pierre 123 (lectotype P [ P05189538 ], designated here; isolectotypes P [ P04800216 , P05189539 ]).

Pierre’s var. roxburghii was based on specimens from Vietnam, one of which is selected here as lectotype.
