Oldenlandia verticillata Linn, was based primarily on speci- 

 mens cultivated in the botanic garden at Upsala, with an 

 additional reference to Crateogonum amboinicum Rumph. The 

 description applies in all particulars to the widely distributed 

 plant commonly known as Hedyotis hispida Retz. Spermacoce 

 articularis Linn. f. was likewise based on specimens cultivated 

 at Upsala, also with a reference to Rumphius, and is undoubtedly 

 correctly placed as a synonym of Hedyotis verticillata Lam. 

 Burman f., Fl. Ind. (1768) 33, erroneously referred it to Sper- 

 macoce tenuior Linn.; and Poiret, in Lam. Encycl. 5 (1804) 17, 

 considered that the Rumphian figure represented Parietaria 

 indica Linn., which is an entirely erroneous disposition of it. 

 Hedyotis crateogonum Spreng. was based, at least in part, on 

 Rumphius and is unquestionably a synonym of Hedyotis verti- 

 cillata (Linn.) Lam. as here interpreted. 



HEDYOTIS TEN ELLI FLORA Blume Bijdr. (1826) 971. 



Crateogonum amboinicum I minus Rumph. Herb. Amb. 6: 25. 



This was reduced by the younger Linnaeus to Spermacoce 

 stricta Linn. f. in the original description of that species, Suppl. 

 (1781) 120, in which he was followed by Willdenow, Roemer and 

 Schultes, Poiret, and Henschel. Miquel, Fl. Ind. Bat. 2 (1857) 

 182, thought that it might be the same as the Philippine Hedyotis 

 angustifolia Miq., which is entirely improbable. The reduction 

 to Hedyotis tenelliflora Blume was suggested by Doctor Valeton, 

 which in all probability is the correct disposition of the Rumph- 

 ian species.
