Since M.E. Griffiths in 1959 published a revision of the African species of Terminalia, it has been accepted that a species referred to as T. glaucescens occurs across the continent from the Atlantic coast of West Africa to Ethiopia, and our study confirms this. However, the nomenclatural history of a name competing for priority, T. schimperiana, has not been sorted out. Terminalia glaucescens is used for plants in West and Central Africa, while T. schimperiana is used for plants in the Sudan, South Sudan and Ethiopia. According to the Code, T. schimperiana was effectively and validly published on printed labels with the Schimper exsiccata Iter Abyssinicum III 1638, which was distributed between March and December, 1844, while T. glaucescens was published in 1849. Terminalia schimperiana therefore has priority and should be used for the species throughout its range. The history of the type collection of T. schimperiana is outlined. Lectotypes are selected for both names and for other synonyms. Terminalia avicennioides is also dealt with, as the two species were initially confused. The type of T. avicennioides is lost; the name is lectotypified with the original illustration, which, even in combination with the original description, does not show sufficient characters to distinguish the species from other Terminalia in the region. An epitype agreeing with the current delimitation of T. avicennioides is therefore also selected.

非洲北部热带地区的榄仁科（Combretaceae）：Schimperiana和T. glaucescens的优先次序和类型；schimperiana和avicennioides的其他同义词的代表

由于ME格里菲斯在1959年出版的非洲物种的修订榄仁，它已经接受了一个物种被称为T.淡青对面西非大西洋海岸埃塞俄比亚的大陆出现，而我们的研究证实了这一点。但是，尚无关于争夺优先权（T. schimperiana）的名称的命名历史。榄仁（Terminalia glaucescens）用于西非和中非的植物，而紫锥菊（T. schimperiana）用于苏丹，南苏丹和埃塞俄比亚的植物。根据守则，T。schimperiana已于1844年3月至12月之间分发的Schimper exsiccata Iter Abyssinicum III 1638有效且有效地在印刷标签上发布，而T. glaucescens则于1849年发布。因此，Terminalia schimperiana具有优先地位，应在其整个物种中使用范围。概述了T. schimperiana的类型收集的历史。名称和其他同义词都选择了字型。由于两个物种最初是混淆的，因此也处理了榄仁终端。T. avicennioides的类型迷路 该名称是用原始插图电选型的，即使与原始说明结合使用，也无法显示足够的字符来区分该物种与该地区的其他榄仁。与当前划界同意一个epitype T. avicennioides因此也被选择。
