Remarks

Commelina obliqua f. albiflora was described under the illegitimate Commelina obliqua Buch.-Ham. ex D.Don for the white-flowered individuals of what we currently understand as C. paludosa . Given that colour variation is shown here to be very common in Commelina, we propose this name should be treated only as a synonym.
