• Type: "A Cl. HERMANN. Prof. argentor."

• Comment: Regarded as an illegitimate superfluous name by C.Tirel & J.Raynal, Adansonia II, 20(2): 172-175 (1980), on the basis of Gaertner's inclusion of pre-Linnaean names that are now Elaeocarpus serratus L. However, since Gaertner did not explicitly cite the name Elaeocarpus serratus L. or its type, Ganitrus sphaerica Gaertn. is here treated as being legitimate.
