Microstachys corniculata

#867 They called me Microstachys corniculata, also known as Microstachys vahlii, Sebastiania glandulosa var. pohlii, Sebastiania corniculata var. poeppigii, and Sebastiania corniculata var. pohlii. I pay homage to the male botanists Martin Vahl, Pohl (I couldn’t find his records), and Eduard Friedrich Poeppig. They first catalogued me in 1864.
