The section Asterostoma was established by Triana (1871) to include 19 species. The section is characterized by pentamerous flowers and campanulate hypanthium with emergences and hairs. Cogniaux (1891) followed the same sectional classification and accommodated 23 species. The members of this section are perennial shrubs except O. reticulata Bedd. which is a woody shrub. Clarke (1879) in Hooker’s Flora of British India placed 14 species in this section. In the present treatment 13 species and one variety are recognized.
