Based on examination of relevant literature and herbarium specimens, we designate a lectotype for Bauhinia esquirolii Gagnep., the basionym of Phanera esquirolii (Gagnep.) Sinou & Bruneau. We also synonymize P. comosa (Craib) Bandyop. & Ghoshal under P. esquirolii and provide an emended description of the latter.
