Treatment

Callicarpa macrophylla Vahl, Symb. Bot. View in CoL 3: 13 (1794). – Type: Ind. Orient., J.G. Koenig s.n.

( lectotype C [ C10019896 ], designated by Munir, J. Adelaide Bot. Gard. 6: 24 [1982]) .

Callicarpa incana Roxb., Fl. Ind. View in CoL 1: 407 (1820). – Callicarpa roxburghii Wall., Numer. List View in CoL n. 1833 (1829), nom. illegit., superfl. – Type: [unpublished illustration] Icones Roxburghianae 914 (lectotype K, designated here).

Wallich’s Callicarpa roxburghii View in CoL is a superfluous renaming of Callicarpa incana Roxb. View in CoL

Canscora diffusa (Vahl) R.Br. ex Roem. & Schult., Syst. Veg. View in CoL 3: 301 (1818). – Gentiana diffusa Vahl, Symb. Bot. View in CoL 3: 47 (1794). – Exacum diffusum (Vahl) Willd., Sp. Pl. View in CoL 1: 637 (1798). – Pladera pusilla Roxb., Hort. Bengal. View in CoL : 10 (1814), nom. illegit., superfl. – Cicendia roxburghii Griseb., Gen. Sp. Gent. View in CoL 160 (1838), nom. illegit., superfl. – Type: India orientalis, Anon. View in CoL s.n. (lectotype C [C 10012622], designated by Klackenberg in Morat, Fl. Madagasc. Fam. 168: 159 [1990]).

Cicendia roxburghii Griseb. View in CoL is a superfluous name based on Roxburgh’s superfluous Pladera pusilla View in CoL .

Canscora roxburghii Arn. in Miq., Nieuwe Verh. Eerste Kl. Kon. Ned. Inst. Wetensch. Amsterdam, Ser. 3, 5: 11 (1852). – Type: [unpublished illustration] Icones Roxburghianae 1227 (lectotype K, designated by Cramer, Rev. Handb. Fl. Ceyl. 3: 72 [1981]).

Miquel published an extract from a letter by Walker-Arnott that clarified the taxonomy and nomenclature of two similar Indian Gentianaceae species. Walker-Arnott noted that Roxburgh’s Pladera perfoliata was a different species from Rheede’s Kansja Cora,

the sole basis of Canscora perfoliata Lam. Therefore, Walker-Arnott proposed the name Canscora roxburghii for Roxburgh’s plant excluding the Rheede element. Although the name is generally attributed to Arn. ex Miq., it is validated in the letter extract without any requirement for comment or embellishment by Miquel.
