| Notes: | This species in literature has long been misnamed as Verbena bonariensis. That species differs in having a much larger corolla (4.5-5.5 mm in diameter) and much shorter flowering spikes (less than 1.5 cm). It is so far unclear where this species is found in Mozambique or if all material previously identified as V. bonariensis should be placed here. |
