Dear friends, *Olax scandens* Roxb. seems to be erroneously connected with *Olax psittacorum*, which is reflected even at present date, in some of the 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. <https://www.worldplants.de/> 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 <https://indiabiodiversity.org/species/show/264435>. Last accessed 03/02/2025 (dd/mm/yyyy). *Olax psittacorum* is not distributed in India as per POWO, therefore I have gathered any regional names known for this taxon in Indian Floras and articles and attributed them to *Olax scandens* Roxb. It will be interesting to know of any paper / article that throws light on this misconnection of the taxons. Regards.
