Family Code: RUBIAC Genus Code: HOUST Genus CN: bluet Genus Authority: L. Genus Summary: The generic limits of Houstonia, Hedyotis, Oldenlandia, and Stenaria have been controversial, with much shuffling of generic configuration. It now appears that Houstonia should be recognized as a genus separate from Hedyotis and Oldenlandia, with Stenaria included in Houstonia (Guo et al. 2013; Wikström et al. 2013, and other references). Genus Identification: Identification notes: In the key below, all leaf measurements and length/width ratios are based on median cauline leaves.
