*''[[Rafflesia titan]]'' – A synonym of ''R. arnoldii''; it was in fact validly published earlier, being rushed to publication in Singapore in 1820 by a British botanist who feared that the French, who had actually discovered a species before the British, might deny the glory of the [[species description]] to servants of the British Empire.<ref name=Meijer1997/> In order to retain the honour of naming the species to the famous British scientist Robert Brown, the historian of botany mentioned above chose to pretend a 1821 pre-print Brown sent to a colleague was a valid 'effective publication',<ref name=Mabberley1999/> which has been accepted by the relevant British institutions.<ref name=POWO_77089854-1/><ref name=ipni4>{{cite web |title=''Rafflesia arnoldii'' |url=https://www.ipni.org/n/316069-1 |website=[[International Plant Names Index]] |publisher=The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Harvard University Herbaria & Libraries and Australian National Botanic Gardens |access-date=9 November 2020}}</ref>
