Fruges Terminaliae belliricae.

Terminalia bellirica (binomen a Gulielmo Roxburgh anno 1805 statutum) est species arborum fructiferarum in Asia australi et austro-orientali necnon Australia boreali sponte crescens, eisdem fere locis et in Africa orientali culta propter fructus edules et medicinales. Fructus inter eos, qui myrobalani appellari solent, una cum Phyllanthus emblica et Terminalia chebula comprehenditur; iam apud Clusium anno 1567 myrobalanus bellerica appellatur.

Roxburgh Terminalia bellerica scripsit, fontes Latinos antiquiores secutus, sed descriptione botanica Iosephi Gaertner usus, qui binomen Myrobalanus bellirica anno 1791 rite constituerat. Ergo hodierni orthographiam T. bellirica accipiunt.
