Heliotropium katangense Gürke ex De Wild., Ann. Mus. Congo Belge, Bot. sér. 4, [1(3)] (1903) 223. — Heliotropium baclei DC. var. rostratum I.M.Johnst. (1930) 91. — Type: E. Verdick 141 (BR) (lecto, designated by Förther 1998), Congo (Kinshasa), Katanga, Lukafu , Oct. 1899.

Heliotropium nigerinum A.Chev. (1920) 45. — Syntypes: A.J.B. Chevalier 1168 (P), Mali, Sebi, 11 July 1899, A.J.B. Chevalier 1365 (P), Mali, sur les bords du marigot de Day, 3 Aug. 1899. [Note: often considered as nomen nudum, but since Chevalier gives a description, we consider this name validly published.]

Heliotropium marifolium auct. non Retz: Baker & Wright (1905) 40.

Note — The authorship of H. katangense is rather unclear. The name is published with as sole author Gürke, but in a paper written by De Wildeman, where the introduction (at page vii) thanks several workers in Berlin, including Gürke, for their help, but only of K. Schumann it is explicitly mentioned he made the descriptions for his new species. We therefore have to assume only the name was coined by Gürke and the description is by De Wildeman.
