Treatment

Aeschynomene indica View in CoL L., Sp. Pl. 2: 713 (1753). – Type: [published illustration] Rheede, Hort .

Malab. 9: t. 18 (1689) (lectotype designated by Verdcourt in Gillett et al., Fl. Trop. E. Afr., Legum. (Pt 3) subfam. Papilion. (1): 373 [1971]) .

Aeschynomene viscidula Roxb. ex Willd., Enum. Pl. View in CoL 2: 776 (1809), nom. illegit., non A. viscidula Michx. (1803) View in CoL . – Aeschynomene subviscosa DC., Prodr. View in CoL 2: 321 (1825). – Aeschynomene roxburghii Spreng., Syst. Veg. View in CoL , ed. 16, 3: 322 (1826), nom. illegit., superfl.

– Type: Anon. s.n. (lectotype B-W [ B – W 13739 -01 0], designated here) .

Aeschynomene roxburghii Spreng. is a superfluous renaming of the later homonym Aeschynomene viscidula Roxb. ex Willd. because de Candolle had already provided a replacement name.

Aglaia elaeagnoidea (A.Juss.) Benth., Fl. Austral. View in CoL 1: 383 (1863). – Nemedra elaeagnoidea A.Juss., Bull. Sci. Nat. Geol. View in CoL 23: 239 (1830). – Type: Nouv. holl., port du R. Georges, Anon. s.n. (lectotype P [ P00337561 ], designated here; isolectotype K (fragment) [ K000657798 ]).

Milnea roxburghiana Wight & Arn., Prodr. Fl. Ind. Orient. View in CoL 1: 119 (1834). – Aglaia roxburghiana (Wight & Arn.) Miq., Ann. Mus. Bot. Lugduno-Batavi View in CoL 4: 41 (1868). – Type : India, R. Wight 311 (lectotype K [ K000657441 ], designated by Pannell, Kew Bull. Addit. Ser. 16: 143 [1992]).

Mabberley (1988) cited Bentham (1863) as lectotypifying Nemedra elaeagnoidea A.Juss. View in CoL

to a P specimen, but as Bentham failed to employ the term type or an equivalent this is not effective. Mabberley referred to ‘Leschenault in Baudin s.n., Australie’ but none of these details are on the specimen, so to avoid further confusion I here make the lectotypification explicit.
