Trichosanthes burmensis Kundu, J. Bombay Nat. Hist. Soc. 43(2): 381. 1942.<br />
Syntypes: Upper Myanmar, Southern Shan State, Indine, 1893, Abdul Khalil s.n. (CAL,<br />
3 sheets, photos available from SSR), Pegu, W.S. Kurz 1062 (CAL, no image seen).<br />
Distribution in <strong>India</strong>: Unknown.<br />
Distribution outside <strong>India</strong>: China, Myanmar, Cambodia, Thailand.<br />
GenBank: Sequences from De Boer et al. (2012) based on material from Thailand,<br />
mostly under T. pubera subsp. rubriflos, e.g., HE661533, HE661451.<br />
Comments: In his 1980 checklist <strong>of</strong> the <strong>India</strong>n <strong>Cucurbitaceae</strong>, Jeffrey recognized T. rubriflos<br />
with two doubful <strong>synonyms</strong>, T. prazeri Kundu and T. burmensis Kundu, but in 1982,<br />
he moved T. prazeri into the synonymy <strong>of</strong> T. dunniana. Chakravarty (1959, 1982) also<br />
listed T. rubriflos for <strong>India</strong>, but kept T. majuscula and T. prazeri separate, and considered<br />
T. burmensis a synonym <strong>of</strong> T. bracteata, which is in error. Duyfjes and Pruesapan (2004)<br />
considered T. rubriflos a subspecies <strong>of</strong> T. pubera Blume, described from Java. According<br />
to the Trichosanthes expert Hugo De Boer (pers. comm. 24 Oct. 2012), the holotype <strong>of</strong><br />
T. burmensis, Abdul Khalil s.n., resembles material <strong>of</strong> T. rubriflos from Thailand, and the<br />
label notes that the flowers are red. Another form <strong>of</strong> Trichosanthes described by Kundu,<br />
T. burmensis var. alba Kundu is a synonym <strong>of</strong> T. tricuspidata (see below).<br />
