Rhizophora caseolaris Linnaeus , Herbarium Amboinense: 13. 1754.

["Habitat in Moluccis."] Sp. Pl., ed. 2, 1: 635 (1762). RCN: 3435.

Lectotype (Vu Van Cuong, Fl. Cambodge Laos Vietnam 4: 191. 1965): [icon] " Mangium Caseolare rubrum " in Rumphius, Herb. Amboin. 3: 113, t. 74. 1743.

Current name: Sonneratia caseolaris (L.) Engl. ( Rhizophoraceae ).

Note: Believing the name to be typified by a Rumphius plate identifiable as S. alba J.E. Sm., Hoogland (in Taxon 37: 980. 1988) proposed the name for conservation with a conserved type. However, the Committee for Spermatophyta (in Taxon 42: 689. 1993) ruled that the name had not been typified previously, and so the proposal was unnecessary as Hoogland had made the first lectotype choice. In fact, the same type choice had been made earlier by Vu Van Cuong (1965).
