Abstract

Stictocardia tiliifolia (Desr.) H. Hall. is accepted as the correct name for the type species ofStictocardia. An earlier name,Ipomoea campanulata L., regarded as a synonym of S.tiliifolia for the last 50 years, is found to be synonymous withIpomoea illustris (C. B. Clarke) Prain, a species occurring in coastal/tidal riverine habitats of South Asia. Material from interior habitats, calledI. campanulata by authors of Indian floras, is believed to represent a variety of trueI. campanulata or a closely related species.
