Original material: Browne, Herb. Linn. No. 293.4 (LINN) .

Current name: Rauvolfia tetraphylla L. ( Apocynaceae).

Note: Rendle (in Proc. Linn. Soc. London 149: 108. 1937) says the name is "founded on" Browne specimens in LINN, which he illustrates as his pl. 3 (= 293.4 LINN). However, "founded on" is not accepted as an equivalent of “type” .
