basionym:
Commelina axillaris L. legitimate
Reference to basionym indirect, via Sweet's citation of this name as "Cyanotis axillaris D.P." [i.e. D.Don, Prodr. Fl. Nepal. 46 (1825)]. While Don indicates that Tradescantia axillaris (L.) L. should be placed in his new genus Cyanotis , he does not definitely associate the genus name and specific epithet as required under ICN Art. 35.2 (Shenzhen Code, 2018).
