Notes.

When they resurrected Euploca , Hilger and Diane (2003: 42) said that "summarizing all urges a formal taxonomic recombination of EUPLOCA, including all species of Heliotropium section Orthostachys , Schleidenia , and Hilgeria into the genus Euploca , the oldest available generic name in this group." Heliotropium foliatum is the type of Heliotropium sect. Orthostachys ( Johnston 1928: 46). Although it is recognized as a good species (example: Förther 1998: 195), Heliotropium foliatum was not transferred to Euploca until now. Robert Brown did not cite a type collection, only mentioning "v. v." (=seen alive).
