Jarvis, Charlie, 2007, Chapter 7: Linnaean Plant Names and their Types (part R), Order out of Chaos. Linnaean Plant Types and their Types, London: Linnaean Society of London in association with the Natural History Museum, pp. 785-805 : 802

Ruellia ciliaris Linnaeus , Systema Naturae, ed. 12, 2: 424; Mantissa Plantarum: 89. 1767.

"Habitat in India." RCN: 4612.

Neotype (Vollesen, Blepharis : 96. 2000): Garcin s.n. (G).

Current name: Blepharis ciliaris (L.) B.L. Burtt ( Acanthaceae ).

Note: Vollesen ( Blepharis : 96. 2000) indicates Garcin material in G (unseen by him) as the type. Such material may well not have been seen by Linnaeus so should probably be treated as a neotype.
