Elaeocarpus rugosus Roxb. ex G.Don, Gen. Hist. View in CoL 1: 559 (1831). – Type: 1811, W. Roxburgh

s.n. ( lectotype BM [ BM000795190 ], designated by Chakrabarty et al., Plant Sci. Today 6(2): 286 [2019]) .

Elaeocarpus aristatus Roxb., Fl. Ind. View in CoL 2: 599 (1832). – Monocera roxburghii Wight, Icon. Pl. Ind. Orient. View in CoL 1(4): [1], t. 63 (1838), nom. illegit., superfl. – Type: W. Roxburgh s.n. (lectotype BM [BM000795193], designated by Chakraborty et al., Ethnobot. Jarawa Tribe Andaman Isl. , India 70 [2020]).

Wight used the name Monocera roxburghii View in CoL for Roxburgh’s Elaeocarpus aristatus View in CoL . As there was nothing to prevent a transfer of Roxburgh’s epithet, Wight’s name is superfluous. A Roxburgh specimen in BM has been selected as lectotype for Elaeocarpus aristatus View in CoL .

Embelia tsjeriam-cottam (Roem. & Schult.) A.DC., Trans. Linn. Soc. London View in CoL 17: 131 (1834). – Ardisia tsjeriam-cottam Roem & Schult., Syst. Veg. View in CoL , ed. 15 bis, 4: 517 (1819). – Type : [published illustration] ‘ Tsjeriam-cottam’, Rheede, Hort. Malab. 5: t. 11 (1685) (lectotype designated by Arun & Sardesai, Phytotaxa 491: 232 [2021]); India, Kolhapur , Ambewadi, 14 i 2020, M. M. Sardesai MMS1644 View Materials (epitype BSI, designated by Arun & Sardesai, Phytotaxa 491: 232 [2021]) .

Embelia robusta var. roxburghii Kurz, Forest Fl. Burma 2: 103 (1877). – Samara robusta var. roxburghii (Kurz) Kurz, J. Asiat. Soc. Bengal, Pt 2, Nat. Hist. 46: 222 (1877). – Type: non designatus.

Kurz published a var. roxburghii under Embelia robusta View in CoL and shortly after transferred it to the genus Samara . I have not traced any original material for Kurz’s Embelia robusta var. roxburghii .

Enteropogon dolichostachyus (Lag.) Keng, Clav. Gen. Sp. Gram. Prim. Sin. 197 (1957). – Chloris dolichostachya Lag., Gen. Sp. Pl. 5 (1816). – Type : Philippines, Sambuangan, L. Née s.n. (lectotype MA [ MA253368 ], designated by Turner, Taxon 70: 378 [2021]; probable isolectotype MA [ MA253370 ]).

Melica digitata Roxb., Fl. Ind. View in CoL 1: 328–329 (1832). – Chloris roxburghii Edgew., J. Asiat. Soc. Bengal View in CoL 21: 183 (1852), nom. illegit., superfl. – Type: [unpublished illustration] Icones Roxburghianae 825 (lectotype K, by Turner, Taxon 70: 378 [2021]).

Chloris roxburghii Edgew. View in CoL is illegitimate and superfluous to Melica digitata Roxb. View in CoL
