Physedra bequaertii De Wild., Pl. Bequart. 1: 569. 1922.

Physedra bequaertii Type: D.R. Congo. Along the Semliki [river], female, fl, 16 Jun 1914, J. Bequaert 4791 (Syntypes: BR [BR0000008886330, digital image: BR, JPS], BR [BR0000008887122, digital image: BR, JPS], BR [BR0000008887245, digital image: BR, JPS]).

Physedra bequaertii Type: D.R. Congo. Along Ruthuru river, female, fl, 17 Nov 1914, J. Bequaert 6315 [sic, should be 6215] (Syntypes: BR [BR0000008886477, digital image: BR, JPS], BR [BR0000008886521, digital image: BR, JPS]).

Remarks.

As Physedra is a synonym of Coccinia but the specimens are belonging to the genus Bambekea , the name Physedra bequaertii has to be excluded. Jeffrey (1962: 364) published the new combination Bambekea bequaertii (De Wild.) C.Jeffrey, however, it is not clear whether this is a species separate from Bambekea racemosa Cogn.
