Note:
Trimen (
Handb, Fl. Ceylon
2: 317. 1894) says that this is "entirely based on a figure of Burman". However, as pointed out by Merrill (
l.c
.), and Biju & al. (in
Rheedea
2: 12. 1992), this illustration is not part of the protologue. Merrill is here accepted as having made an effective choice of type; see Biju & al., f. 1B for an illustration of the type specimen.
