Volume 1 of the Proceedings of the Linnean Society comprising the time span between November 1838 and June 1848 was printed in 1848. IPNI schedules the publication of T. brunonis for 1844, POWO for 1845. The species is accepted by Jonker 1938, but is not listed in the Flora of Thailand (Larsen 1987).
