Osbeckia sect. Osbeckia

The section comprises annual herbs having tetra merous flowers and long beaked anthers. Triana (1871) included 4 species viz ., Osbeckia chinensis L., O. capitata D.Don ex Wight & Arn. , O. zeylanica L.f. and O. perottetii D.C. ex Naudin under the section Genuinae . Clarke (1879) also included the first 3 species under the same section. Cogniaux (1891) followed Triana and included 4 species in the section Genuinae in “ Monographie Phanerogamarum ”. However the sectional name Genuinae is inadmissible as it is contrary to Art. No. 22.1, 22.2 of ICN (Turland et al., 2018), hence the sectional name “ Osbeckia ”, is used in the present treatment instead of “ Genuinae ”. This section is represented by three species and one variety in India.
