Thanks, Tapas ji, for the wonderful addition.
WCSP gives it as a syn. of Phyllanthus stylosus Griff., Itin. Pl. Khasyah Mts. 32: 15 (1848).
Is it Ok ?

I am hearing P. stylosus Griff., an obscure name, for the first time. I will check and let you know.

Garg ji,
Phyllanthus stylosus is a nomen nudum.

I had to look up to remind myself what does nomen nudum mean exactly.
my latin name meanings memory is rusty
had to look it up , you can too
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nomen_nudum
had forgotten lessons learned six decades ago!!!
apparently it means name published without a diagnosis or supportive description etc

so it really means its not an accepted name as it stands
nomen  indicates name , if human being its the second name

nudum means bare, naked


Thanks Tapasda
for bringing back my childhood days

Ushadi

This is a perfect example as to how the websites create confusion. They are showing an invalid name as an accepted name!!!

IPNI shows record of all published names only with reference. Unfortunately the website www.ipni.org has crashed recently and Dr. Kanchi Gandhi has requested all to consult www.beta.ipni.org for plant names, which is however not fully updated yet.

Someone should write to Dr. Govaerts about correcting the websites.

The POWO is also incorrect:
