George Don considered the plant Roxburgh described under the name Lobelia radicans Thunb. View in CoL to be a different plant from that described by Thunberg and named it Pratia radicans View in CoL . Alphonse de Candolle renamed this as Isolobus roxburghianus A.DC. View in CoL , as he used ‘radicans’ for the Thunberg element. As no Roxburgh herbarium material has been located, Roxburgh’s drawing is here selected as lectotype.
