• Comment: Schultes ascribes this name to "Juss.". While A.L. de Jussieu, Annales du Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle 2: 131 (1803), indicated his belief that Illecebrum javanicum (Burm.f.) Murray should be placed in the genus Aerva he did not definitely associate the genus name with the specific epithet as required by ICN Art. 35.2 (Melbourne Code, 2012).
