Name

Medinilla cumingii Naudin, Ann. Sci. Nat., Bot. sér. 3, 15: 292. (1851)
Note: Etymology: the specific epithet is named for Hugh Cuming (1791-1865). Hugh Cuming's name is sometimes misspelt 'Cumming' by others (including on herbarium labels and Naudin in the prologue), but he did not use this spelling himself. Corrected by IPNI (Jan. 2024).
