BOERHAAVIA Linnaeus
BOERHAAVIA DIFFUSA Linn.; Blanco FI. Filip. (1837) ed. 2 (1845fc
6; ed. 3, 1 (1877) 11, t. 93.
The Linnean species was correctly interpreted by Blanco»
There is no doubt that B. repens Linn, is an exact synonym. It
is common and widely distributed in the Philippines in the
settled areas at low altitudes; certainly an accidentally in-
troduced weed.
