While attending to an enquiry from a colleague regarding confusion created in most of the websites on the accepted name of a species of Western Ghats, India, most of which are showing Capparis baducca is a synonym of C. rheedei. I find that unlike all the websites, efi has correctly given C. baducca L. as an accepted name with interesting discussion about C. rheedei but not at all misleading us. I wish to clarify that there was a proposal to reject the Linnaean name Capparis baducca as being described from two continents. However, a special committee rejected the proposal and as a result, the Shenzhen Code (2018), Appendix - V gives: Capparis baducca L. is an accepted name with a conserved type based on an illustration, "Badukka" of Rheede, Hortus Malabaricus. Experts on Capparaceae can clarify whether C. rheedei DC. is same or distinct.
