Phanera khasiana (Baker) Thoth., Bull. Bot. Soc. Beng. 19: 131. 1965.

Bauhinia khasiana Baker in Hook.f., Fl. Brit. India 2: 281. 1878.

Notes: Larsen et al. (1980) recognised two subspecies but in a treatment of the species for the Flora of China, Li et al. (2010) placed the atypical taxon, Bauhinia khasiana Baker subsp. polystachya (Gagnep.) K. Larsen & S.S. Larsen in synonymy under B. khasiana var. khasiana and we have followed that classification here. However, Bandyopadhyay et al. (2012) followed Larsen et al. (1980) and made a combination in Phanera for subsp. polystachya .

DISTRIBUTION. China, India, Thailand, Laos and Viêtnam.
