Ixora chinensis Lam., Encycl. View in CoL 3: 344 (1789). – Type: Anon. s.n. [P. Sonnerat leg.?] (lectotype

P-LA [IDC6207 LM-290/17, restricting choice to shoot mounted on right with label ‘ Ixora chinensis Lam. dict.’], designated by Fosberg & Sachet, Baileya 23(2): 77 [1989]).

Ixora stricta var. roxburghiana Kurz, J. Asiat. Soc. Bengl, Pt 2, Nat. Hist. 46: 148 (1877). – Type: not traced.

I have not traced any likely type material of Kurz’s var. roxburghii View in CoL . Fosberg and Sachet cited a type for Ixora chinensis Lam. View in CoL in the Lamarck Herbarium without seeing it. As there is only one specimen in P-LA labelled with the name, I take this to be what Fosberg and Sachet cited and consider it to be the lectotype of Lamarck’s name.
