Nomenclature Reason: nom. illeg. superfl., intended as a new combination based on Spermacoce rigida Kunth, but because that name is illegitimate, Diodia rigida Cham. & Schltdl. must instead be construed as a new taxon name; as such, however, it is illegitimate according to ICBN Art 52.1, because it definitely includes the type of Spermacoce apiculata Willd. ex Roem. & Schult., the epithet of which ought to have been adopted

Nomenclaturally Correct Name:

Spermacoce apiculata Willd.
