botanical names: Strobilanthes sessilis var. ritchiei C.B.Clarke ... synonyms: Pleocaulus ritchiei (C.B.Clarke) Bremek. ... Hassler, Michael (1994 - 2025): World Plants.

NOTE: The commemorative epithet ritchiei is also found spelt as ritchei. Charles Baron Clarke consistently used the spelling ritchiei for the epithet of Strobilanthes sessilis var. ritchiei, and is thus the reason for the prevailing usage of ritchiei in botanical literature. The original author's spelling is maintained as a matter of nomenclatural priority.
