Description
Phytolacca americana Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 1: 441. 1753.
"Habitat in Virginia, Mexico." RCN: 3419.
Lectotype (Larsen in Morat, Fl. Cambodge Laos Viêtnam 24: 118. 1989): Herb. Linn. No. 607.3 (LINN).
Generitype of Phytolacca Linnaeus (vide Green, Prop. Brit. Bot.: 157. 1929).
Current name: Phytolacca americana L. (Phytolaccaceae).
Note: Although Nowicke (in Ann. Missouri Bot. Gard. 55: 318. 1969) typified P. decandra L. (1762), a synonym of P. americana, she gave no indication that she was treating the two names as homotypic, so she cannot be accepted as having typified P. americana. The first typification appears to be that of Larsen, which is accepted here. Reveal (in Jarvis & al., Regnum Veg. 127: 76. 1993) was unaware of Larsen’s choice in designating a Clifford sheet (BM) as lectotype.
