How does L ovalifolia and L luteola tie in with this L pauciflora and with
L socialis?

There is certainly much confusion with this plant. I just made a quick
Google search and found a plant that has beautiful leaves and flowers
that
look exactly like what we have come to know as L. socialis *except* that
it
lacks any purple coloring. Take a look at the link below and you can
perhaps see into the past where Baker studied a plant similar to this
one. So with
that, I think the synonomy of this particular plant and L. socialis is
pretty certain.

However, most of the plants out there, including Jude's plant do not have
leaves that look like this at all. They are ovate and have faint minute
markings. However, all of this does not mean that
it can't just be another form of L. socialis.
