Description
Andropogon contortus Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 2: 1045. 1753.
"Habitat in India." RCN: 7544.
Lectotype (Cope in Nasir & Ali, Fl. Pakistan 143: 312. 1982): [icon] "Gram. Secalinum, Indicum, spica gracili, tomentoso, aristis longioribus, ad se invicem intortis" in Plukenet, Phytographia: t. 191, f. 5. 1692; Almag. Bot.: 173. 1696. - Voucher: Herb. Sloane 92: 78; 96: 69 (BM-SL).
Current name: Heteropogon contortus (L.) Roem. & Schult. (Poaceae).
Note: Specific epithet spelled “contortum” in the protologue. Cope’s type choice (Jun 1982) narrowly pre-dates the same choice made by Clayton & Renvoize (in Polhill, Fl. Trop. E. Africa, Gramineae 3: 827. Nov 1982).
