Description

Panicum grossarium Linnaeus, Systema Naturae, ed. 10, 2: 871. 1759.

["Habitat in Jamaica."] Sp. Pl., ed. 2, 1: 86 (1762). RCN: 499.

Lectotype (Hitchcock & Chase in Contr. U. S. Natl. Herb. 15: 36. 1910; Veldkamp in Blumea 41: 427. 1996): Browne, Herb. Linn. No. 80.52, upper specimen (LINN).

Current name: Urochloa reptans (L.) Stapf (Poaceae).

Note: Veldkamp (in Blumea 41: 429. 1996) followed Hitchcock (in Contr. U. S. Natl. Herb. 12: 119. 1908) in regarding this and P. reptans L. (1759) as homotypic. However, the first clear type choice dates from Hitchcock & Chase (in Contr. U. S. Natl. Herb. 15: 36. 1910), later restricted to the upper specimen on the sheet by Veldkamp.
