ResumoThe classification of three subtropical, primarily Indian, members of the tribe Cynoglosseae (Boraginaceae) which C. B. Clarke included in Paracaryum P. coelestinum (Lindley) Bentham, P. lambertianum C. B. Clarke and P.malabaricum C. B. Clarke – is discussed. The conclusion reached is that Clarke was correct to assign them all to one genus, but that none has any affinity with the mainly Irano-Turanian genus Paracaryum (DC.) Boiss. Cynoglossum L. sect. Paracaryopsis H. Riedl, to which Riedl transferred P. coelestinum , is elevated to generic rank as Paracaryopsis (H. Riedl) R. Mill, with three new combinations at specific rank. A systematic treatment of Paracaryopsis is given.
