Remarks
For his Achyranthes corymbosa, Linnaeus (Sp. Pl. 1: 205. 1753) cited at least 4 syntypes (including Burm. zeyl. 184. t. 65. f. 2).Lamarck (l.c.) referred to Burman alone (as Burm. Zeyl. t. 65. f. 2.). Since A. corymbosa remained untypified in 1792 and since Lamarck did not include all the syntypes of A. corymbosa, his P. indica was legitimately published as a sp. nov.
