Annotation: This name was designated as "sp. nov." in its publication, but was typified by the lectotype of Rajania wrightii Uline ex R. Knuth designated by Raz (2016). Therefore, this name is nomenclaturally tied to Knuth's name (Art. 52) and Raz's replacement name in Dioscorea for Knuth's name, and it is not a new species and it is nomenclaturally superfluous.

Replaced Synonym:
