Commelina sp.

content: 20 Jul 1974
name: label: Collector
content: C. Geerling
label: Microhabitat Description
content: Lowlands, heavy soil, rather dry.
notes: label: Notes
content: Closely resembles C. erecta subsp. livingstonii in its narrow leaves, subsessile spathes, blue flowers, & apparently 2 (-3?) seeded capsules; differs by completely lacking hook-hairs, including on the spathes, and by the submature seeds (in one of the spathes) being shiny medium brown and lacking the "ridges" on the side. The seeds suggest C. schweinfurthii,m but the leaf bases are wrong, as is the 2-seeded capsule. More and better material is needed.
