"Moldenke & Moldenke (in Dassanayake & Fosberg,
Revised Handb. Fl. Ceylon
4: 253. 1983) indicated
35.2 (LINN) as the type, but this is a Patrick
Browne collection which was not received by Linnaeus until 1758 and
cannot therefore be original material for this name." (The Linnean Plant Name Typification Project).
