Additional type data:
Lectotype (designated by Imkhanitskaya, 1974: 208): INDIA. P. Osbeck s.n. (Herb. Linn No. 519.1, LINN). Original material: P. Osbeck s.n. (S [05-4065]).
Miscellaneous information:
Weber (J. Adelaide Bot. Gard. 3: 228, 229. 1981) suggests that Rheede, Hort. Ind. Malab. 7: t.44. 1688. should be recognized as lectotype of this species. However, Linnaeus ascribed the name Cassytha to Osbeck, and there are (at least) two Osbeck specimens in S, #05-4065 and #05-4098.
