Just for correction. I realized that the accepted spelling is Rauvolfia L. and not Rauwolfia L. WHY? Because it was named by Linnaeus like that although the name of person on which the name of taxa was based was Leonhard Rauwolf (also spelled Rauwolff) [(Augsburg, June 21 in either 1535 or 1540 – September 15, 1596, Waitzen, Hungary) was a German physician, botanist and traveller].
