• Comment: The name “Rottboellia ophiuroides Benth. var. ophiuroides" is listed by A.D.Chapman, Austral. Pl. Name Index 2534 (1991), but since the species name is illegitimate this autonym is not established, in accordance with ICN Art. 27.2 (Shenzhen Code, 2018).

• Comment: Mueller lists "Rottboellia muricata = R. ophiuroides". Rottboellia muricata (Retz.) Retz. and Rottboellia ophiuroides Benth. were both previously accepted by Mueller on page 131 of the Systematic Census (1882) but R. ophiuroides was the only one treated in Mueller's Second Systematic Census p. 221 (1889). Therefore R. ophiuroides is here treated as being the accepted name in this Supplement with R. muricata in synonymy.
