Scaveola sericea

[rashida atthar]

This mangrove associate was seen flowering and fruiting (white) today at Sagar upvan (BPT gardens), Mumbai. I have  gone through the discussions on this plant  in our database.

 

What I found I should inform here  is a new combination of valid name suggested by Dr. Almeida along  with the explanation in Flora of Mah.,2001, Vol III(A) pg:150 as  Scaevola salutari (Lour.)Almeida

 

I quote from the volume last para on pg 151: "Roxburgh (1814) has not mentioned Gaertner's basinym but directly cited " Belamodagam" of Rheede. Roxburgh's name therefore has to be considered as a new name under Article 33.1 of ICBN. Roxburgh's name is homotypic synonym of Gaertner's Lobellia taccada  but when first validly published it is not based on L. taccada and therefore has to be considered as a new name beginning from 1814 and not a new combination on Gaertner's name . Example2 in 1983 edition of ICBN explains this point. However, in flora Indica (1820), Roxburgh cited Lobellia taccada Gaertn. It appears that Cerbera salutaria  Lour (1790), is the earliest valid name at present available for combination under Scaevola. Therefore a new combination has been proposed." 

 

It seems the new name is not accepted, will be grateful for experts inputs. 

 

regards,

Rashida.
