When working on parts of the legumes, he de- scribed two new species in Caesalpinia, one of them, C. homblei R.Wilczek, based on Homblé’s Guangxi collection; he stressed that the genus is mainly represented in tropical Asia and America, although also citing the few natives then known from the African continent, mainly East Africa (Wilczek 1951, 1952). Wilczek placed C. homblei in sect. Guilandina Benth. where he assumed a relationship with C. bonduc (L.) Roxb., widespread from tropical Africa to Australasia. Caesalpinia homblei remains an accepted name in the International Legume Database &amp; In- formation Service (http://www.ildis.org/LegumeWeb; accessed 8 June 2020).</p><p>Caesalpinia homblei needs to be reduced to synonymy of C. bonduc . Homblé 88 possesses the characteristic features of this very variable pantropical species (Chen et al. 2010): prickly stems and pods densely covered with slender spines. The measurements in Wilczek’s description, based on the poor type specimen, match the description in the Flora of China (Chen et al. 2010), where C. bonduc is reported from Guangxi. Our comparison with the numerous specimens available in BR confirmed the postulated synonymy.</p><p>The specimen Homblé 88 also bears an identification from 1934, by the hand of Jean Ghesquière: Caesalpinia sepiaria Roxb., a synonym of Caesalpinia decapetala (Roth) Alston, which is reported from Guangxi too. It is also a spiny climber, but differs from C. bonduc in having fragile leathery, shiny, glabrous pods. Ghesquière’s determination, not mentioned by Wilczek, is obviously wrong.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/038F879EFFA222172F74F812FBA85899	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

They believed it to be related to D. nigritiana (Hack.) Stapf, an African species of section Cirripilae . In GrassBase – The Online World Grass Flora (http://www.kew.org/data/grasses-db/; accessed 8 June 2020) D. polybotryoides is included as an accepted species restricted to Katanga.</p><p>The type specimen was sent on loan to GENT, but could at present not be located there. The description of D. polybotryoides was therefore compared with several keys for Asian species of Digitaria (Bor 1956, Veldkamp 1973, Chen &amp; Philips 2006). This showed an obvious match with a rather common species, Digitaria abludens (Roem. &amp; Schult.) Veldkamp, in the older literature recorded under the synonym Digitaria granularis (Trin.) Henrard. The diagnostic features are: annual species, racemes 2 – 8, rachis triquetrous, spikelets binate and ternate, 1.3–1.75 mm long, hairs smooth and with dilated apex, lower glume absent, fertile floret protruding, acuminate.</p><p>In China, D. abludens is only recorded from Hainan , S Henan, Sichuan and Yunnan (Chen &amp; Phillips 2006) but the latter prov- ince is bordering Guangxi. Homblé 110 seems to represent a single and new record for Guangxi .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/038F879EFFA222172C3AFC43FB615D9B	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

He believed the widespread D. peltata Sm. ex Willd. to be the clos- est relative. In 1978, Taton, now aware of the Chinese origin, reidentified the specimen as Drosera peltata Thunb. var. lunata (Buch.-Ham. ex DC.) C.B.Clarke, but he never published the correction. Drosera peltata is widespread in China and recorded from Guangxi (Lianli &amp; Kondo 2001). The latter authors did not recognize var. lunata .</p><p>Taton’s species caused erroneous assumptions in the literature on carnivorous plants. Degreef (1989) considered it as a “very slightly mutated form” of a species complex involving D. peltata and D. auriculata Backh. ex Planch. and stated that the range expansion into Africa was important when considering glaciation and dispersion events in Drosera . Schlauer (1996), in a synoptic overview of Drosera, explained the aberrant occurrence in east (sic) Africa as resulting from an ‘almost certainly recent – synanthropous? – range extension’.</p><p>Gibson et al. (2012) made a morphological evaluation of the D. peltata complex in Australia. This study recognized six species in the complex, including D. lunata Buch.-Ham. ex DC., widespread from India to eastern Australia. The authors accessed the virtual herbarium of BR on 5 April 2011 and were hence aware of the Chinese origin of Homblé 169. They reduced D. insolita to a synonym of D. lunata (Gibson et al. 2012: 75), that way corroborating Taton’s above mentioned reidentification.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/038F879EFFA222182C3AF945FD0E5902	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Grewia katangensis R.Wilczek was published with eleven other novelties recognized during his revision. The species was believed to be related to G. woodiana K.Schum., but no further comments were given.</p><p>Using the Flora of China (Tang et al. 2007), the Homblé speci- men keys out as Grewia cuspidatoserrata Burret. It has the characteristics of this species: 2-lobed fruits, and abaxially tomentose lanceolate leaf-blades with a symmetrical base. This submontane species is only reported from S Yunnan, where Homblé was not botanizing. The type specimen is dated Sep- tember 1910, so was seemingly collected during the above mentioned trip to Liuzhou, possibly at the mountainous end point of that voyage. Our identification is hence plausible, and Homblé’s specimen might represent the first record of the species for Guangxi.The trip from Guilin was some 150 km toward the SSW, in the direction of S Yunnan, though still 500 km away from it .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/038F879EFFAD22182F74FDACFD165FBD	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
