The typification of names validated in a paper of 1803 concerning the plants encountered on a journey through what is now Tamil Nadu in southern India is reviewed. A number of name changes are necessitated. Psilotrichum patulum becomes the correct name for P. elliotii , Euphorbia glaucescens is the correct name for E. corrigioloides , Oldenlandia pusilla is the correct name for O. attenuata and Kohautia attenuata is the correct name for K. aspera .
