GenBank: Sequences from Schaefer and Renner (2011) and Li et al. (2011), e.g.,<br />
JN044888, JF941910.<br />
Comments: <strong>The</strong> Flora <strong>of</strong> British <strong>India</strong> (Clarke, 1879) lists the name Herpetospermum<br />
caudigerum Wall. ex C.B. Clarke, but that is an illegitimate name for Bryonia pedunculosa<br />
Ser.<br />
38. Herpetospermum tonglense (C.B. Clarke) H. Schaef. & S.S. Renner, Taxon 60(2):<br />
615 (2011c).<br />
Warea tonglensis C.B. Clarke in J. Linn. Soc., Bot. 15: 129. 1876.<br />
Biswarea tonglensis (C.B. Clarke) Cogn. in A. & C. DC., Monogr. Phan. 3: 403. 1881.<br />

GenBank: Sequences from Kocyan et al. (2007), e.g., JQ933236, DQ536637.<br />
Comments: Based on plastid and nuclear gene topologies, this species is the sister species<br />
to H. pedunculosum, and Schaefer and Renner (2011a, b) therefore merged the<br />
monotypic genus Biswarea with Herpetospermum.<br />
39. Hodgsonia heteroclita (Roxb.) Hook.f. & Thomson, Proc. Linn. Soc. London 2:<br />
257. 1854 (“1855”).<br />
Trichosanthes heteroclita Roxb., Fl. Ind. 3: 705-707. 1832.<br />
Type: Bangladesh [<strong>India</strong>, Bengal] W. Roxburgh s.n. (K) “Native <strong>of</strong> the eastern parts <strong>of</strong><br />
Bengal. From Silhet Mr. Robert Keith Dick, the Judge <strong>of</strong> that district, sent plants<br />

GenBank: Sequences from Schaefer and Renner (2011b) and De Boer et al. (2012),<br />
e.g., HE661403, HQ201981.<br />
Comment: Jeffrey (1980) considered H. heteroclita a synonym <strong>of</strong> H. macrocarpa<br />
(Blume) Cogn. (see under misapplied <strong>names</strong> and species erroneously or doubtfully<br />
recorded from <strong>India</strong>), while De Wilde and Duyfjes (2001) recognize<br />
two species.
