Commelina sp.
date: label: Collection Date
content: 31 May 1979
name: label: Collector
content: A. P. de Kruif
label: Microhabitat Description
content: Fringe of swampy forest.
notes: label: Notes
content: Closest to C. diffusa subsp. montana in FWTA (1968), but leaves are wrong. Smooth seeds & long spathes with little or no curvature on the folded edge (ie. slightly falcate bo not at all falcate) and cilicte spathe margins suggest C. caroliniana, which is otherwise unknown from africa, but the well-developed upper cincinnus is wrong. Perhaps closest to C. acutispatha in Africa, but spathes are wrong & so are sheath pubescences and flower color.
