Nyctanthes sambac Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 1:6. 1753.

"Habitat in India." RCN: 39.

Lectotype (Howard, Fl. Lesser Antilles 6: 83. 1989): Herb. Clifford: 5, Nyctanthes 1 (BM-000557517) .

Current name: Jasminum sambac (L.) Aiton ( Oleaceae).

Note: D’Arcy (in Ann. Missouri Bot. Gard. 63: 560. 1977) indicated 16.2 (LINN) as the type, but this is a Browne specimen received by Linnaeus only in 1758 and it is not original material for the name.
