Abstract This paper draws attention to the presence of neglected types of Strobilanthes (Acanthaceae) in the Central National Herbarium (CAL) in Kolkata, focussing on those described in the 19th century by Thomas Anderson and Sulpiz Kurz from China, India and Myanmar. Eleven species are typified and illustrated. Their synonomy and distribution are discussed. Attention is drawn to close similarities between Strobilanthes elongata C.B. Clarke, S. neesii Kurz and S. spicata T. Anderson with species described from China. The name Strobilanthes anisophylla (Hooker) T. Anderson is reinstated.
Species detailed:
1. Strobilanthes aprica (Hance) T. Anderson ex Bentham (Syn: Gutzlaffia aprica Hance; Phlebophyllum apricum (Hance) Bentham)

Scotland- KEW BULLETIN VOL. 64: 3–47 (2009)-
Summary. Descriptions and information about 26 species of Strobilanthes Blume are provided. Sixteen species are described as new: Strobilanthes bilabiata J. R. I. Wood, S. fragrans J. R. I. Wood and S. trichantha J. R. I. Wood from Thailand, S. borii J. R. I. Wood and S. parvifolia J. R. I. Wood from India, S. chrysodelta, J. R. I. Wood, S. muratae J. R. I.Wood, S. ramulosa J. R. I. Wood, S. tanakae J. R. I. Wood and S. wardiana J. R. I. Wood from Burma, S. disparifolia J. R. I. Wood from Laos, S. fusca J. R. I. Wood from the Philippines, S. longipedunculata Terao ex J. R. I. Wood from Vietnam, S. longistaminea J. R. I. Wood and S. pusilla J. R. I. Wood from Indonesia and S. orientalis J. R. I. Wood from East Timor. Species placed in Aechmanthera Nees and Sericocalyx Bremek. are transferred to Strobilanthes, resulting in the new name Strobilanthes sulewesiana J. R. I. Wood for Sericocalyx collina Bremek. and the new combinations Strobilanthes tomentosa (Nees) J. R. I. Wood, Strobilanthes celebica (Bremek.) J. R. I. Wood and Strobilanthes schomburgkii (Craib) J. R. I. Wood for the species hitherto known respectively as Aechmanthera gossypina (Wall.) Nees, Sericocalyx celebicus Bremek. and S. schomburgkii (Craib) Bremek. The new combinations Strobilanthes barisanensis (Bremek.) J. R. I. Wood and S. persicifolia (Lindl.) J. R. I. Wood are made, the latter based on an earlier name for the relatively well-known S. anisiphylla (G. Lodd.) T. Anderson. Kjellbergia celebica Bremek. is renamed Strobilanthes kjellbergii J. R. I. Wood. Some 22 species are illustrated with line drawings for the first time. Pollen of 16 species is illustrated with scanning electron micrographs. The more widespread species are mapped. Indian species detailed:
1. Strobilanthes tomentosa (Nees) J. R. I. Wood comb. nov. (Syn: Aechmanthera tomentosa Nees in Wallich; Aechmanthera wallichii Nees; Ruellia gossypina Wall.; non Strobilanthes gossypina T. Anderson; Aechmanthera gossypina (Wall.) Nees; Aechmanthera wallichii Nees, nom. illeg. superfl. var. β gossypina (Wall.) Nees subvar. β ** fomentaria Nees; Aechmanthera wallichii Nees var. β gossypina (Wall.) Nees subvar. β * leuconeura Nees; Aechmanthera tomentosa var. wallichii C. B. Clarke; Aechmanthera leiosperma C. B. Clarke; Strobilanthes bodinieri H. Lév.; Strobilanthes blinii H. Lév.; Strobilanthes cavaleriei H. Lév.; Aechmanthera claudiae Bernardi); (Widespread)
2. Strobilanthes cruciata (Bremek.) Terao (Syn: Tetragoga cruciata Bremek.; Tetragoga nagaënsis Bremek.; Tetragoga esquirolii sensu Hu) (Widespread)
3. Strobilanthes simonsii T. Anderson (Known from a few, widely scattered localities in Bhutan, NE India and SW China (Tibet/Xixang))
4. Strobilanthes parvifolia J. R. I. Wood sp. nov. (India, Arunachal Pradesh)
5. Strobilanthes borii J. R. I. Wood sp. nov. (Known only from the Naga Hills of NE India)
6. Strobilanthes persicifolia (Lindl.) J. R. I. Wood comb. nov. (syn: Ruellia persicifolia Lindl.; Ruellia anisophylla G. Lodd.; Goldfussia anisophylla (G. Lodd.) Nees; Strobilanthes anisophylla (G. Lodd.) T. Anderson); (Although widely cultivated in the tropics a nd occasionally in conservatories in cooler countries, S. persicifolia is not a common plant in the wild. It is known in India from the West Bengal Duars and a number of mostly old collections from the Khasi and Garo Hills of Meghalaya, and in Bhutan) .

It’s quite possible that there may be some discrepancy in the accepted names & synonyms taken from other links.

If someone can provide complete list of Indian species with source references it will be wonderful. Any comments/ corrections are welcome. I have added the list of species known from India based on Karthikeyan et al, 2009. Thanks, … I can only say you are doing a very difficult & hard job. I would like to help with your page on Strobilanthes but much work is required and I am travelling tomorrow and will be very busy over the next few months. Please remind in a couple of month’s time. Thanks a lot, … That’s really nice of you. I would certainly remind you in a couple of months. . Karthikeyan et al. (2009) have mentioned following species of Hemigraphis in India:
