Asystasia gangetica (L.)T.Anderson subsp. micrantha (Nees)Ensermu
CHINESE VIOLET
**
According to Westaway et al. (2016), unpublished genetic analyses strongly support this taxon as distinct. Further, putatively, this taxon is diploid, whereas A. gangetica s.str. is tetraploid. Treated at the species level, subsp. micrantha would become A. intrusa.
