Respected Sir/Madam

I have doubt about Buchanania cochinchinensis and Buchanania lanzan.  Buchanania lanzan Spreng. SYNONYM: BUCHANANIA COCHINCHINENSIS (LOUR.) ALMEIDA. some 

ambiguity. Sir, is it Buchanania lanzan Spreng.SYNONYM: BUCHANANIA COCHINCHINENSIS (LOUR.) ALMEIDA.
THANK YOU ALL

Both Catalogue of Life and WFO consider them synonyms. Now why B. cochinchinensis is selected as correct name:
The species was first described as  Toluifera cochinchinensis by  João de Loureiro in 1790, it was transferred to Buchanania and named B. cochinchinensis (Lour.) Almeida in 1996. On the other hand B. lanzan Spreng. was first described in 1800, so gets relegated to synonymy on basis of Principle of Priority.
      At the same time Kew Database POWO, treats two as distinct belonging to different genera Buchanania lanzan Spreng. and Glycosmis cochinchinensis (Lour.) Pierre & Engl. You can choose whom to follow.

Sir ji, 
Glycosmis cochinchinensis   ???  I think   it should be   Buchanania cochinchinensis.
Thanks & Regards,

Mahadeswara ji I have given information about prominent databases, It is for one to decide which database to follow. And yes WFO also accepts B. cochinchinensis (and  Glycosmis cochinchinensi as synonym, along as B. lanzan), so following majority B. cochinchinensis may be followed safely.
