Summary Daniel, P.: Names validated in Rottler's “Botanical Observations” of 1803. ‐ Taxon 40: 605–611. 1991. ‐ ISSN 0040‐0262. Rottler travelled widely and collected extensively in peninsular India. His publication of 1803, with added remarks by Willdenow, is cited in floras pertaining to India and the adjoining regions. Rottler and Willdenow validated names of 2 and 1 new genus, and 47 and 21 new species, respectively, in this paper. Most authors have not seen this work and errors, such as wrong attribution of authors, overlooked priority, ignored valid names, are frequently repeated. Below, Rottler's and Willdenow's names are listed separately after a discussion. Types of many of these names are in the Willdenow Herbarium in Berlin (B‐W).
