The same PDF document states *C. kurzii* as synonym of *C. paludosa*,

Matthew [ http://books.google.com/books?id=umMFT6tKtrkC&pg=PA527&lpg=PA527&dq=Commelina+kurzii&source=bl&ots=1zLPXVQGbV&sig=uGowghWHLE1sCSnIVa3q2GxycXk&hl=en&ei=GtK_SffcMZWukAWg9Kk0&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=7&ct=result ] *C. kurzii* as synonym of *C. erecta*, one particular description catches attention: flowers relatively large for the genus I would like to believe this ID as *C. suffruticosa *unless it is revised or validated otherwise, Thanks once again, Mayur ji.
