19,3 Merrill: Burman’s Flora Indica 881 
ILYSANTHES Rafinesque 
(Bonnaya Reichenbach) 
ILYSANTHES ANTIPODA (Linn.) Merr. Interpret. Herb. Amb. (1917) 467. 
Ruellia antipoda Linn. Sp. Pl. (1753) 6385. 
Ruellia anagallis Burm. f. Fl. Ind. (1768) 135. “Habitat in Java and 
Amboina.” 
Gratiola veronicaefolia Retz. Obs. 4 (1786) 8. 
Bonnaya veronicaefolia Spreng. Syst. 1 (1825) 41. 
Burman’s species is clearly identical with the very common 
and widely distributed form currently known as Bonnaya vero- 
nicaefolia Spreng. Crusta ollae major Rumph. Herb. Amb. 5: 
460, t. 170, f. 2, cited by Burman as representing his species, is 
correctly placed as a synonym. 
BIGNONIACEAE 
CRESCENTIA Linnaeus 
* CRESCENTIA OVATA Burm. f. Fl. Ind. (1768) 182. “Habitat in Java.” 
Crescentia cucurbitima Linn. Mant. 2 (1771) 250. 
If the current reduction of Burman’s species be correct it 
will involve the acceptance of his specific name. However, the 
only species of the genus reported from Java is Crescentia cujete 
Linn., and Burman’s description is so short and imperfect 
that it is impossible to determine from it alone to which of the 
Linnean species it applies. All the species of the genus are 
natives of tropical America.

This is the basis of Dyschoriste madurensis (Burm. f.) O. 
Kuntze, of which Calophanes littoralis T. Anders. (Ruellia lit- 
toralis Linn. f.) is a synonym. 
DYSCHORISTE ERECTA (Burm. f.) O. Kuntze Rev. Gen. Pl. (1891) 485. 
Ruellia erecta Burm. f. Fl. Ind. (1768) 135, t. 41, f. 8: “Habitat 
in India.”
