Pseudochimarrhis turbinata (DC.) Ducke, Archiv. Jard. Bot. Eio Janeiro 3: 255. 1922. Elaeagia brasiliensis Standi, in Gleason & A. C. Smith, Bull. Torrey Bot. Club 60: 395. 1933, type: Boa Vista, Fordlandia, Tapajos river region. Para, Brazil, Sep 1931, B. A. Krukoff 1018 (NY). Chimarrhis duckei Eizz. Eev. Bras. Biol. 7: 277. 1947.
