Remarks.
Cogniaux cites Bryonia cordifolia sensu Linnaeus’ Species plantarum 2nd edition, where Linnaeus synonymizes Rumphius’ Vitis alba indica , which is Coccinia grandis . If Bryonia cordifolia would have been originally described in 1763, Cogniaux’ choice would have been valid, but Bryonia cordifolia was described in 1753 (Species plantarum 1st edition), where Vitis alba indica is not mentioned, but only a collection from Hermann herbarium, which is Cucumis maderaspatanus L.
