• Comment: Authorship of this species is sometimes given as (F.Muell.) Benth. & Hook., in reference to G.Bentham & J.D.Hooker, Gen. Pl. 2(1): 58 (1873). While Bentham and Hooker state under the generic entry for Oldenlandia "Huc pertinent inter alia... H. galioides F.Muell.", they do not make the combination at species rank.
