In Argentina Ocimum is represented by four species: Ocimum campechianum, Ocimum nudicaule, Ocimum ovatum, and Ocimum selloi.

Four new synonyms are here proposed, and lectotypes are here designated for the following species: Lumnitzera carnosa, Ocimum balansae, Ocimum hassleri var. acutatum, Ocimum micranthum, Ocimum neurophyllum, O. nudicaule, O. ovatum, O. selloi, O. selloi var. angustifolium, O. selloi f. serratum, and O. selloi f. subintegrifolium.
