Notes. – Two specimens in the Java herbarium are present in G-PREL [G00818035, G00818137] with no assigned collectors. Two other specimens collected by Thunberg are in the Ceylon herbarium [G00818138, G00818139], and two specimens are in the Thunberg herbarium (UPS-THUNB n° 14591 and n° 14592) labelled “ India orientalis”, which suggests that these are not original Thunberg collections, as he usually labelled them as “Cap. b. spei”, “Ceylon”, “ Japan ”, “Java”. In Java, this name has been misapplied to C. viscosum Vent. (BACKER & BAKHUIZEN VAN DEN BRINK f., 1965: 611; see CALLMANDER et al., 2017).
