Notes:
This is part of a widespread species (or taxonomic) complex found from Asia to East Africa, and it is may be present in Madagascar; however no material has yet been seen to confirm this by CMT (IV 2013). This name was treated in the Flora of Tropical East Africa as accepted with the name Spermacoce articulatis L. f. as a synonym, and these names have been variously applied to the same or different species and variously synonymized over the last century with the situation currently far from clear.
