Rourea minor

#416 They called me Rourea minor, also known as Connarus roxburghii, Santaloides afzelii, Rourea millettii, Santalodes roxburghii, Santaloides beccarii, and Rourea afzelii. I pay homage to the male botanists William Roxburgh, Afzel (I couldn’t find his records), Millett (I couldn’t find his records), and Beccar (I couldn’t find his records). They first catalogued me in 1931.
