Commelina semiovata Buch.-Ham. ex Wall.

Commelina semiovata Buch.-Ham. ex Wall. (Wallich 1848: 8985), nom. not effectively published. Syn. nov.

Accepted species

Commelina paludosa Blume.

Remarks

Commelina semiovata also represents a synonym of the Asian C. paludosa and is thus excluded from the Neotropical gem-fruited species. The confusion also seems to be rooted in the use of the posterior synonym C. obliqua Buch.-Ham. ex D.Don.
