,
orth. var.
"Habitat in Jamaica." RCN: 132.
Basionym:

.
Neotype
(Cramer in Dassanayake & Fosberg,

Bacopa monnieri
(L.) Pennell
(

Note:
This has been variously treated as either an orthographic variant of
G. monnieri
(L.) L. (1759)
, or an independent name. However, the former seems more appropriate, making the name homotypic with
G. monnieri
(L.) L.
and its basionym
Lysimachia monnieri
L. (1756)
.
