“…Commelina is the largest genus in the Commelinaceae family, with approximately 170 species worldwide (Gajurel and Shrestha 2010 ; Kaul and Koul 2012 ; Nandikar and Gurav 2018 ; Hassemer 2019 ). Commelina is well known for its persistent nomenclature and taxonomy issues, with several taxa presenting challenges that remain unresolved to date (Faden 1989 ; Hassemer 2019 ).…”

We sequenced and published the chloroplast genome of Commelina caroliniana Walter, which was previously misidentified as C. diffusa owing to their morphological similarities until 1989. The genome of C. caroliniana is 160,857 bp long [large single copy region: 88,064 bp; a small single copy region: 18,549 bp; two inverted repeat regions: 27,122 bp] and has a GC content of 35.7%. The genome comprises 133 genes, including 87 coding sequences (CDSs), 38 tRNAs, and eight rRNAs. The phylogenetic relationship between C. caroliniana and related species was analyzed using the maximum likelihood method based on the 79 CDSs of the chloroplast genome. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that C. caroliniana is closely related to C. communis . Our findings will contribute to studies on species identification and phylogenetic and evolutionary research. These results enhance our understanding of the Commelina genus.

“…Cyanotis reutiana was described by Beauverd (1922) based on the specimens collected by E. Reut from Mt. Nilgiri, India, but that taxon is not mentioned in any subsequent Indian works (Gamble 1931, Karthikeyan et al 1989, Nandikar & Gurav 2014, 2020). Based on our field observations, study of protologues and type specimens of C. deccanensis and C. reutiana , it is clear that these are conspecific with C. fasciculata .…”

“…There are 14 species of Cyanotis in India including four species of Belosynapsis (Singh & Murugan 2019). In POWO (https://powo.science.kew.org), Belosynapsis is treated as a synonym of Cyanotis , but Indian floras recognize Belosynapsis as a valid genus (Karthikeyan et al 1989, Nandikar & Gurav 2014, 2020). Species of Belosynapsis differ from those of Cyanotis by being epiphytic or lithophytic ( vs .…”

Morphological variability in Cyanotis fasciculata over a range of habitats in central and Peninsular India is illustrated and discussed. Cyanotis deccanensis and C. reutiana are synonymized with C. fasciculata. Lectotypes are designated for the names C. decumbens Wight, C. dichrotricha Stocks ex Wight, C. eriantha Hassk., C. fasciculata var. glabrescens C.B. Clarke, C. karliana Hassk., C. lawiana Wight, C. reutiana Beauverd, C. rosea Wight and C. thwaitesii Hassk.

The present article accounts for a previously overlooked, new species of Commelina from Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India. The new species, here described as Commelina littoralis can be distinguished e.g. by its white antherodes, and appendaged seeds. It is compared with the similar, cosmopolitan species C. diffusa and C. caroliniana and provided with a description, illustration, photographs and distribution.
