When names get established on wrong subjects, the concerns related to the species on which these names are truly to be assigned get misplaced. This communication relates to mistaken/doubtful identities of four species of two closely allied genera of the family Anacardiaceae, three of them of Mangifera L. (M. andamanica King, M. griffithii Hook. f., M. nicobarica Kosterm.) and one of Bouea Meisn. (B. oppositifolia (Roxb.) Adelb).

Abstract


When names get established on wrong subjects, the concerns related to the species on which these names are truly to be assigned get misplaced. This communication relates to mistaken/doubtful identities of four species of two closely allied genera of the family Anacardiaceae, three of them of Mangifera L. (M. andamanica King, M. griffithii Hook. f., M. nicobarica Kosterm.) and one of Bouea Meisn. (B. oppositifolia (Roxb.) Adelb).
