  • Comment: nom. illeg., nom. superfl. Lithoxylon lindleyi Steud. (1841) is the earliest legitimate name for Lindley's misapplication of Securinega nitida Willd. The epithet lindleyi was available in Actephila in 1892 and thus ought to have been adopted by Drake.
  • Comment: Drake attributes the name to "Benth. et Hook., Gen., III, p. 269." [i.e. G.Bentham & J.D.Hooker, Gen. Pl. 3(1): 270 (1880)]. While Bentham and Hooker indicate that Lindley's misapplication of the name Securinega nitida Willd. may relate to a species of Actephila they do not make the combination at species rank.
