Lippia alba (Miller) N.E. Br. is a distinct species and wide-spread in India. Lippia javanica (Burm. f.) Sprengel has established in very few places only and the name L. javanica is found misapplied to L. alba (Miller) N.E. Br. It is established that Lantana malabarica Hayek and Lippia unica Ramakr., and L. indica Mold., all described from southern India, are synonyms of L. alba and L. javanica respectively.

Abstract


Lippia alba (Miller) N.E. Br. is a distinct species and wide-spread in India. Lippia javanica (Burm. f.) Sprengel has established in very few places only and the name L. javanica is found misapplied to L. alba (Miller) N.E. Br. It is established that Lantana malabarica Hayek and Lippia unica Ramakr., and L. indica Mold., all described from southern India, are synonyms of L. alba and L. javanica respectively.
