Premna cordifolia Roxb., does not occur in India. It is found that either this species was misunderstood or the name P. cordifolia misapplied to P. corymbosa Rottler in old literature; or to P. rubens (C.B. Clarke) Ridley in later literature. The species involved are keyed out and their nomenclature is set right. P. rubens is added to the Indian Verbenaceae and the name lectotypified.

Premna cordifolia Roxb., does not occur in India. It is found that either this species was misunderstood or the name P. cordifolia misapplied to P. corymbosa Rottler in old literature; or to P. rubens (C.B. Clarke) Ridley in later literature. The species involved are keyed out and their nomenclature is set right. P. rubens is added to the Indian Verbenaceae and the name lectotypified.
