This has been much confused with the preceding and following species, which 
are remarkably polymorphic, and in some cases difficult to distinguish from each 
other. It is usually perennial, but seedlings which flower during the first year 
have all the appearance of being annual, as in the case of Commelin’s coloured 
figure, on which the species was chiefly founded, and such specimens I am unable 
to distinguish in other respects from shrubby perennial ones. Many specimens 
are imperfect in this and other respects, and observations in the ficld might lead 
to some modification of the above arrangement. Thunberg confused the 
mpeg with H. repens, Jarosz, for all his kerbariam Specimens belong to the
