Notes

• Sapindus edulis sensu Blanco (1845: 201), nom. illeg. non Aiton (1789) nec Blume (1823) (neosyntypes: Merrill Sp. Blanc. 320, Philippines, Palawan, Taytay, May 1913, in fruit; BO {BO-1318610^(GBIF), BO-1318161^(GBIF)} and 1042, Philippines, Luzon, Batangas Prov., April 1915, in flower; BO, L), which was cited as a synonym of this taxon, is unplaced by Govaerts & al. (2021).
• Erioglossum cuneifolium Blume (1847: 118), nom. illeg. ≡ Sapindus saponaria sensu Blanco (1837: 288) ≡ Sapindus guisian Blanco (1845: 201) was once placed under Erioglossum rubiginosum hesitatingly by Radlkofer, Pflanzenr. (Engler) IV, 165(98c): 695 (1932), while it was formerly cited under Dittelasma rarak (DC.) Hiern [≡ Sapindus rarak DC.] by Fernández-Villar (1880: 51) and Leenhouts (1969: 88) partially agrees with Merrill's view (1918: 241) as it is a certain species of Guioa.

• Lao occurrence is represented by S. Bouamanivong 12 (collected in Bolikhamsai province; deposited at L [​L.2315131^(GBIF)]), M.F.
