There is an article in Kew Bulletin 39:803-4, 1984, by Gail L. R. Bromley
with the title "Duranta repens versus D. erecta (Verbenaceae)". The summary
says, "A study of botanical literature has led to the confirmation that the
commonly cultivated plant known as Duranta repens L. to many botanists
should be called D. erecta L. [botanical names in italics]

Subject: Duranta repens? erecta?
Hi all
I am doing some research for an article on Duranta and would love
some help. First of all, if anyone grows this in So Cal, please
contact me off-line so I can ask you some questions.
But what I am most in need of at the moment, is some help with the
nomenclature. Can anyone tell me if D. erecta and D. repens are the
same? And if so, which is the preferred name?
Thanks a bunch
Nan
