Elaeocarpus ganitrus

Ganitrus roxburghii
Wight, Ill. Ind. Bot.

Ganitrus roxburghii
Wight
stands as a replacement name for
Elaeocarpus ganitrus
Roxb. ex G.Don
because the tautonym created by a direct transfer of the basionym would be invalid. Don cited Rumphius’s plate in his protologue but made no mention of specimens. I therefore select the Rumphius plate as
lectotype
.
