FROM ACACIA TO ZIZIPHUS: PLANT NAMES COMMEMORATING THE BOTANIST WILLIAM ROXBURGH Author Turner, Ian M. text Edinburgh Journal of Botany 2022 2022-12-14 79 1911 1 102 http://dx.doi.org/10.24823/ejb.2022.1911 journal article 10.24823/EJB.2022.1911 1747-0036 Ziziphus rugosa Lam., Encycl. 3(1): 319 (1789). – Type: P. Sonnerat s.n. ( lectotype P-LA [IDC6207 LM-127/8], designated by Turner, Taxon 70: 424 [2021]). Ziziphus tomentosa Roxb., Fl. Ind. 2: 360 (1824) , nom. illegit., non Z. tomentosa Poir. (1813) . – Ziziphus roxburghiana Voigt, Hort. Suburb. Calcutt. 146 (1845). – Type : not traced. Ziziphus roxburghiana Voigt represents a replacement name for Roxburgh’s later homonym. I have not traced any original material for Ziziphus tomentosa Roxb. , so leave the typification open. In addition to the above, three species of fungi and a fig wasp are indirectly named after Roxburgh because they have epithets reflecting the reported host plant, which was then named after Roxburgh. These are, with host species in parentheses: Aplosporella roxburghii Tassi , as ‘ Haplosporella ’ ( Chavica roxburghii ) Cercospora roxburghii Purkay. & Mallik ( Carum roxburghii ) Multifurca roxburghii Buyck & V.Hofst. ( Pinus roxburghii ) Sycoscapter roxburghi (Joseph) syn. Sycoryctes roxburghi Joseph ( Ficus roxburghii ).
