Description

Andropogon barbatus Linnaeus, Systema Naturae, ed. 10, 2: 1305. 1759.

["Habitat in Jamaica."] Sp. Pl., ed, 2, 2: 1483 (1763). RCN: 7563.

Replaced synonym of: Andropogon polydactylos L. (1763), nom. illeg.

Lectotype (Hitchcock in Contr. U. S. Natl. Herb. 12: 126. 1908): Browne, Herb. Linn. No. 1211.28 (LINN).

Current name: Chloris dandyana C.D. Adams (Poaceae).

Note: Specific epithet spelled “barbatum” in the protologue. The existence of A. barbatus L. (1771) has resulted in some nomenclatural complexities. Andropogon barbatus (1759) relates to a perennial species, recombined in Chloris as C. barbata (L.) Nash (1898), a later homonym of the annual C. barbata Sw. (1797) (which was itself based on the illegitimated A. barbatus L. 1771, non 1759). The correct name is C. dandyana C.D. Adams (1971), since the only other possible name in Chloris, C. polydactyla Sw. (1788), is based on A. polydactylos L. (1763), an illegitimate renaming of A. barbatus L. (1759).
