Pterospermum semisagittatum Hort. Angl. ex Link, Enum. Hort. Berol. Alt. View in CoL 2: 200

(1822). – Type : India, Hortus Botanicus Calcuttensis, Anon. s.n. [ EIC 1167.1 ] (neotype K-W [ K001112274 ], designated here; isoneotypes E [ E00273764 ], K-W [ K001112273 , K001112275 ]) .

Pterospermum semisagittatum Roxb. ex DC., Mém. Mus. Hist. Nat., Paris View in CoL 10: 113, t. 9 (1823), nom. illegit., non P. semisagittatum Hort. Angl. ex Link (1822) View in CoL . – Eriolaena roxburghii Spreng., Syst. Veg. View in CoL 3: 123 (1826), as ‘Eriochlaena’. – Type: India, Hortus Botanicus Calcuttensis, 1819, N. Wallich s.n. (lectotype G-DC [G00208854], designated here).

Pterospermum semisagittatum Buch. View in CoL -Ham. ex Roxb., Fl. Ind. 3: 160 (1832), nom. illegit., non P. semisagittatum Hort. Angl. ex Link (1822) View in CoL , nec P. semisagittatum Roxb. ex DC. (1823) View in CoL . – Type: W. Roxburgh s.n. (lectotype BM [BM000946547], designated here).

Eriolaena roxburghii Spreng. has been considered a superfluous renaming, but the overlooked publication of Pterospermum semisagittatum by Link before de Candolle means that Sprengel published a legitimate nomen novum. No original material of Link’s name was found in B (R. Vogt, B, personal communication), so a neotype based on material cultivated in Calcutta is designated here.

Pterygota alata (Roxb.) R.Br., Pterocymbium 234 (1844). – Sterculia alata Roxb., Pl. Coromandel View in CoL 3: 84–85, t. 287 (1820). – Pterygota roxburghii Schott & Endl., Melet. Bot. 32 (1832), nom. illegit., superfl. – Type: Ind. Orient., 1809, W. Roxburgh s.n. (lectotype BM [BM000645721], designated here).

Pterygota roxburghii Schott & Endl. is a superfluous renaming of Sterculia alata Roxb. A Roxburgh specimen in BM is here selected as lectotype of Roxburgh’s name.

Putranjiva roxburghii Wall., Tent. Fl. Napal. 2: 61 (1826). – Drypetes roxburghii (Wall.) Hatus., J. Fac. Sci. Univ. Tokyo, Sect. 3, Bot. 6: 335 (1954). – Type: [unpublished illustration] Icones Roxburghianae 123 (lectotype CAL, designated by Chakrabarty, Ann. Pl. Sci. 8(10): 3634 [2019]).

Wallich’s Putranjiva roxburghii is an accepted name.

Pyrus pyrifolia (Burm.f.) Nakai, Bot. Mag. View in CoL (Tokyo) 40: 564 (1926). – Ficus pyrifolia Burm.f., Fl. Indica View in CoL 226 (1768). – Type : Japan, Kleinhoff s.n. (holotype G-Prel. [ G00810718 ] [3 sheets]).

Pyrus chinensis Roxb., Fl. Ind. View in CoL 2: 511 (1832), nom. illegit., non P. sinensis Lindl. (1816) View in CoL , nec P. chinensis Thouin ex Spreng. (1825) View in CoL . – Pyrus roxburghii K.Koch, Hort. Dendrol. View in CoL 183, No. 42 (1853). – Type: [unpublished illustration] Icones Roxburghianae 1443 (lectotype K, designated here).

As Roxburgh’s Pyrus chinensis View in CoL is an illegitimate later homonym, Koch published Pyrus roxburghii View in CoL as a nomen novum. Roxburgh’s drawing is here designated as lectotype.
