Sauropus convexus J.J.Sm. (1924) View in CoL 82, syn. nov. — Neotype (designated here): Hortus Bogoriensis s.n., cultivated (L, barcode L0138208), Indonesia, Java, Bogor. Former syntypes were based on living collections of which there are no vouchers: Indonesia, Java, Bogor, Hortus Bogoriensis XV.J.B.IV. 1 (died 1950) and XV.J.B.V.5 (died 1945), originally from Leiden Botanical Garden. Smith indicates that there are minor differences in the staminate and pistillate flowers with B. androgyna View in CoL , which fall well within the variation of this species.

Note — For the other heterotypic synonyms see Van Welzen (2003). Some of the new combinations under Breynia of Chakrabarty & Balakrishnan (2012) are synonymised here.
