Abstract

Type material of two species of Spermacoce, S. laevis Lam. and S. remota Lam. was analized. As a result, and taking into account several morphological characters, S. laevis should remain within Spermacoce, while S. remota is transfered to the genus Borreria. The latter species is designed as type of Borreria Series Laeves, since the previous designation of Borreria laevis is in serious conflict with the protologue of the Series (art. 10.5 of the ICBN).
