While revising the genus Murdannia in India, as part of a taxonomic revision, we came across problems in the typification of ten names, viz. M. dimorpha (Dalzell) G. Bruckn. (= Aneilema dimorphum Dalzell), M. hookeri (C.B. Clarke) G. Bruckn. (= Aneilema hookeri C.B. Clarke), M. lanuginosa (Wall. ex C.B. Clarke) G. Bruckn. (= Aneilema lanuginosum Wall. ex C.B. Clarke), M. loriformis (Hassk.) R.S. Rao & Kammathy (= Aneilema loriforme Hassk.), M. pauciflora (G. Burckn.) G. Bruckn. (= Aneilema pauciflorum Wight), M. triquetra (Wall. ex C.B. Clarke) G. Bruckn. (= Aneilema triquetrum Wall. ex C.B. Clarke), M. simplex (Vahl) Brenan (= Commelina simplex Vahl), M. juncoides (Wight) R.S. Rao & Kammathy (= Dichaespermum juncoides Wight), Aneilema ensifolium Wight and Dichaespermum repens C.B. Clarke, that are discussed here and lectotypes designated.
