Transfer of Torenia gracilis Benth. to Bonnaya as Bonnaya gracilis sp. nov. (Linderniaceae)– Aaratrik Pal, M. M. Sardesai, Monoranjan Chowdhury- August 2021 Nordic Journal of Botany 39(8) (Abstract: Torenia gracilis, a species closely similar to Bonnaya antipoda, was published by Bentham in Wallich’s Numerical List without description and was later synonymised under B. verbenifolia, now a synonym of B. antipoda. In this paper, the nomenclature of T. gracilis Benth. (nom. inval.) is discussed and this taxon is treated within Bonnaya as B. gracilis sp. nov. with a detailed description and comments on its taxonomic identity)
