A replacement name Ardisia lallaniana R.Kr. Singh is here proposed for the illegitimate A. montana King & Gamble, being a later homonym of A. montana C.F. Gaertn. Also, the name A. zeylanica C.B. Clarke is a later homonym of A. zeylanica (Gaertn.) Lam. ex Forsyth f. and for the former, Tinus clarkeana Kuntze is the only available legitimate name. Therefore, Ardisia clarkeana (Kuntze) R.Kr. Singh comb. nova is here proposed for the illegitimate A. zeylanica C.B. Clarke. Lectotypes are designated here for Anguillaria zeylanica Gaertn., Ardisia amplexicaulis Bedd., A. moonii C.B. Clarke, A. pauciflora B. Heyne ex Wall., A. pauciflora var. wightiana A.DC., A. rhomboidea Wight and A. zeylanica C.B. Clarke. Additionally, the correct author citation for A. pauciflora is clarified.
