Ixora ulei K.Krause, Notizbl. Königl. Bot. Gart. Berlin 6: 205 (1914), as 'Ixora Ulei'

Note: accepted by Mendoza et al. (2004) and Taylor (2017), but regarded as conspecific with I. sparsifolia K.Krause by Vásquez Martínez et al. (2008) or Ixora panurensis Müll.Arg., Flora 58: 454 (1875) by Govaerts et al. (2023). If this conspecificity holds then Ixora panurensis has priority under ICN.

Mendoza et al. (2004) and Delprete & Cortés-B. (2015) claim that this species occurs in Colombia, citing J.C. Betancur B. et al. 2868 (collected in Vaupés, alt. 150 m, 2 October 1991; deposited in MO-1545946 (4231147)^(GBIF); also in COL [COL000050449 (351012)]), which was re-determined with I. panurensis Müll.Arg. by C.M. Taylor in 2016.
