Description
Panicum latifolium Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 1: 58. 1753.
"Habitat in America." RCN: 500.
Lectotype (Hitchcock in Contr. U. S. Natl. Herb. 12: 118. 1908): Kalm, Herb. Linn. No. 80.54, left specimen (LINN; iso- US, fragm.).
Current name: Dichanthelium latifolium (L.) Harvill (Poaceae).
Note: Baum (in Canad. J. Bot. 45: 1847. 1967) rejected Hitchcock’s choice of a Kalm collection as type on the spurious grounds that Kalm’s name was not explicitly cited in the protologue. However, the Kalm collection is clearly original material for this name, and Hitchcock’s 1908 type choice has priority.
