Notes
Includes index.
The genus Boerhavia is discussed, its infrageneric classification is reviewed, and four sub-genera are recognized. Distinctions of two Linnaean species, B. diffusa and B. repens are clarified. Boerhavia mutabilis R. Brown and B. pubescens R. Brown are typified. The Boerhavia repens group is discussed and delimited, as is B. rubicunda and several similar species. Boerhavia repens var. maris-indici, B. albiflora, B. crispifolia, and B. herbstii are described as new. A curious abnormal form of B. crispifolia is also described and discussed.
