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.

Crescentiu cucurbitina 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 Crescentiu 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.
