Abstract
The genus Eriolaena DC. (1823:102) (Malvaceae) is distributed to Asia and Africa, comprises c. 27 species (POWO 2024), and seven taxa in India (Malick 1993). Eriolaena lushingtonii Dunn (1915:88), E. quinquelocularis (Wight & Arn.) Drury (1864:99) and E. candollei var. stocksii (Hook.f. & Thomson ex Mast.) K.C.Mohan (2020:3683) are endemic to India. Eriolaena is characterized by basally clawed petals, 15 or < 15 (antheriferous) stamens in staminal column adhering ovary, long style with spreading stigmas, and woody dehiscent capsule with numerous winged seeds (Long & Rae 1991, Malick 1993, Tang et al. 2007, Chandramohan et al. 2020). While reviewing the taxonomy of Eriolaena, it became apparent that some names are inadvertently typified (Chandramohan et al. 2020) in the past. Herein, we discussed and outlined nomenclature errors to avoid ambiguity, and lectotypified.
