Elaeocarpus hedyosmus is a species of flowering plant in the Elaeocarpaceae family used as a medicinal plant. [1] It is one of three recently described species that is endemic to Sri Lanka. [2]
In 2001, botanist Sue Zmarzty revised the Elaeocarpus section of Elaeocarpus species found on southern India and Sri Lanka. According to that revision, nine species are recognised, which includes three new species - E. hedyosmusZmarzty, E. variabilis Zmarzty and E. taprobanicus Zmarzty. The revision also includes one new variety of the species E. serratusL. var. weibeliiZmarzty as well.
Elaeocarpus hedyosmus is described through specimens previously considered to be E. amoenus sensu auctt.. Original syntypes of E. amoenus included three different species, and in the revision by Meijer's in 1995, lectotypification means that this name must be restricted to a distinct, less well-known species that is endemic to island of Sri Lanka.
Elaeocarpus variabilis is described through specimens previously considered to be E. glandulosus sensu auctt.. The species was also synonymized as E. oblongus sensu auct. previously, until it gives the full species validity. This suggested the species E. glandulosus must be applied to a northern species in India and also dry parts of Sri Lanka. It may be probably E. hygrophilus described in Merrill's in 1951 by his observations.
Cryptocoryne is a genus of aquatic plants from the family Araceae. The genus is naturally distributed in tropical regions of India, Southeast Asia and New Guinea.
Elaeocarpus is a genus of nearly five hundred species of flowering plants in the family Elaeocarpaceae native to the Western Indian Ocean, Tropical and Subtropical Asia and the Pacific.

Achariaceae is a family of flowering plants consisting of 32-33 genera with about 155 species of tropical herbs, shrubs, and trees. The APG IV system has greatly expanded the scope of the family by including many genera previously classified in Flacourtiaceae. Molecular data strongly support the inclusion of this family in the order Malpighiales.

Elaeocarpus munroi is a species of flowering plant in the Elaeocarpaceae family and is endemic to India. It was first formally described in 1838 by Robert Wight who gave it the name Monocera munroii in his book Illustrations of Indian Botany. In 1874, Maxwell T. Masters changed the name to Elaeocarpus munroi in the Hooker's Flora of British India. The specific epithet (munroi) honours the botanist, William Munro.
Birds of South Asia: The Ripley Guide by Pamela C. Rasmussen and John C. Anderton is a two-volume ornithological handbook, covering the birds of South Asia, published in 2005 by the Smithsonian Institution and Lynx Edicions. The geographical scope of the book covers India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan, Maldives, the Chagos archipelago and Afghanistan. In total, 1508 species are covered. Two notable aspects of Birds of South Asia are its distribution evidence-base — the book's authors based their distributional information almost completely on museum specimens — and its taxonomic approach, involving a large number of species-level splits.
Elaeocarpus bancroftii, commonly known Kuranda quandong, Johnstone River almond, ebony heart, grey nut, or nut tree is a species of flowering plant in the family Elaeocarpaceae and is endemic to Queensland. It is a tree with leathery leaves that turn red before falling, flowers with lobed petals and relatively large fruit.
