Dimeria ornithopoda Trin., Fund. Agrost. View in CoL : 167 (1820). – Type: Anon. 567 (holotype LE [Herb.

Trin. 1254.01]).

Andropogon filiformis Roxb., Fl. Ind. View in CoL 1: 260–261 (1820), nom. illegit., non A. filiformis Pers. (1805) View in CoL . – Andropogon roxburghianus Schult., Mant. View in CoL 2: 451 (1824). – Type: India, Calcutta, 1809, W. Roxburgh s.n. (lectotype LINN [LINN-HS 1575.25], designated here).

Andropogon roxburghianus Schult. View in CoL was published as a new name for Roxburgh’s later homonym Andropogon filiformis View in CoL . A Roxburgh specimen in the Smith Herbarium is here selected as lectotype for Roxburgh’s name.

Diospyros roxburghii Carrière, Rev. Hort. [Paris] 1872: 253, f. 28–29 (1872), as ‘Roxburghi’. – Type: non designatus.

Diospyros roxburghii Carrière View in CoL has remained a controversial species, being sunk by various authors into the cultivated persimmon Diospyros kaki L. Ng (1978) View in CoL resurrected the species from synonymy. Carrière noted that there were specimens of Diospyros roxburghii View in CoL in the Paris Herbarium, but I have not traced any material annotated by him. I therefore leave typification of the name unresolved at present, in the hope that original material can be found in P.
