NOTE: Olax scandens Roxb. seems to be erroneously connected with Olax psittacorum, which is reflected in some taxonomical portals :
  1. Olax psittacorum (Lam.) Vahl ... whose synonym is Olax scandens Roxb. ... Hassler, Michael (1994 - 2025): World Plants. Synonymic Checklist and Distribution of the World Flora. Version 25.01; last update January 28th, 2025. Last accessed 03/02/2025 (dd/mm/yyyy).
  2. Olax psittacorum (Willd.) Vahl ... is synonym of Olax scandens Roxb. ... India Biodiversity Portal . Last accessed 03/02/2025 (dd/mm/yyyy).
Olax psittacorum is not distributed in India as per POWO, however regional names known for this taxon in Indian Floras and articles will be attributed to Olax scandens Roxb.
