Abstract
Ruellia antipoda L. is the basionym of combinations in the genera Ilysanthes and Lindernia applied to a small, prostrate herb commonly found in rice paddies and marshy areas throughout most of tropical and sub-tropical Asia. Unfortunately, various authors have misinterpreted Linnaeus's description and have been unsure on which material or illustration this was based, thus providing much controversial synonymy, which in recent years several botanists have tried unsuccessfully to clarify. It iS the purpose of this note to try to unravel this web of confusion. This confusion may be attributed to Linnaeus citing rather too many apparently disparate sources of material and illustrations when he described Ruellia antipoda in his Species Plantarum: 635 (1753) as follows: 8. RUELLIA foliis mucronato-serratis, caule repente, floribus subspicatis terminalibus quinis ternisve. Fl. zeyl. 235. * Gentianella utriusque India impatiens, foliis agerati Snop grass barbadensibus. Pluk. mant. 167. t. I86.f. 2. Peetjanga-pulpani. Rheed. mal. 9. p. I I5. t. 59. Habitat in Indiis.O0
