APC Comment:
A.D.Chapman, Austral. Pl. Name Index 764, 765 (1991) treated Commelina anthericoides (R.Br.) Poir. and Commelina graminea (R.Br.) Poir. as invalid, and regarded the first valid combination as being made by Roem. & Schult., Syst. Veg. 1: 542 (1817). However, under Article 33.3 of the 2006 (Vienna) edition of the ICBN, Poiret’s combinations are considered to be validly published.
