Description

Parietaria microphylla Linnaeus, Systema Naturae, ed. 10, 2: 1308. 1759.

["Habitat in Jamaica."] Sp. Pl., ed. 2, 2: 1492 (1763). RCN: 7611.

Lectotype (de Rooij in Lanjouw & Stoffers, Fl. Suriname 5(1): 314. 1975): Herb. Linn. No. 1220.8 (LINN).

Current name: Pilea microphylla (L.) Liebm. (Urticaceae).

Note: Although Fawcett & Rendle (Fl. Jamaica 3: 63. 1914) indicated material in BM as type, they did not specify what this was (though probably material in Herb. Sloane, unseen by Linnaeus and not original material for the name).
