This can scarcely be the Commelina japonica, Thunb., in 
Trans. Linn. Soc. ii. (1794) p. 332, with which Maximowicz 
identified it, since the description differs in several important 
particulars. Mr. C. B. Clarke appears to have seen no specimen 
that he could identify with Thunberg’s description. (See DC. 
Monogr. Phan. iii. p. 231.)
