Abstract
The species Terminalia kanchii Dhabe, T. manii King, T. maoi Dhabe and T. shankarraoi Dhabe were identified to be conspecific with T. citrina (Gaertn.) Roxb. and therefore reduced to synonyms of the latter. Terminalia procera Roxb., treated recently as a synonym of T. catappa L. is reinstated here as a distinct species, and for the name, a lectotype and an epitype have been designated and T. copelandii Elmer is considered as its synonym. Terminalia tomentosa (Roxb. ex DC.) Wight & Arn., which has recently been recognized as a distinct species, is treated as a synonym of T. elliptica Willd. Terminaila sharmae M.Gangop. & Chakrab. is merged with Elaeocarpus rugosus Roxb. ex G. Don of the Elaeocarpaceae, and a lectotype has been designated for the latter name. Terminalia vermae M.Gangop. & Chakrab. is maintained as a distinct species.
