Abstract
Nomenclatural investigation was carried out on eight binomials published in the genus Barleria L. (Acanthaceae). All the binomials were typified. Six of these names (B. cuspidata Heyne ex Nees, B. grandiflora Dalzell, B. lawii T.Anderson, B. nitida Nees, B. pilosa Heyne ex Nees and B. strigosa Willd. are currently accepted names. Of the remaining two, B. hirsuta Nees is a later homonym of B. hirsuta Jacq. and B. polytricha Wall., a synonym of B. strigosa Willd.
