Ceanothus asiaticus Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 1: 196. 1753.

"Habitat in Zeylona." RCN: 1585.

Lectotype (Fawcett & Rendle, Fl. Jamaica 5: 70. 1926; Johnston in Brittonia 23: 47. 1971): Herb. Hermann 2: 11, No. 98 (BM-000621540) .

Current name: Colubrina asiatica (L.) Brongn. ( Rhamnaceae).

Note: Fawcett & Rendle indicated Herb. Hermann material (BM) as type. Although there is material mounted on several pages in volume 2, it appears to have been part of a single gathering. Consequently, theirs is accepted as the first typification (Art. 9.15), with the choice subsequently restricted by Johnston.
