Oldenlandia biflora
Linnaeus
,
Species Plantarum
1
: 119. 1753
.
"Habitat in India." RCN: 981.
Lectotype
(Trimen,
Handb. Fl. Ceylon
2: 317. 1894; Biju & al. in
Rheedea
2: 11, f. 1A. 1992): Herb. Hermann 3: 19, No. 68 (BM-000594661)
.
Current name:
Hedyotis biflora
(L.) Lam.
(
Rubiaceae
).
Note:
Biju & al. provided a detailed consideration of the original elements, together with an image (f. 1A) of the type. The Hermann collections consist of two specimens on a single page, but Biju & al. illustrate only the smaller of the two, referring to it as
"type"
. This is accepted as a restriction of
Trimen's
original designation (Art. 9.15).
