Lectotype
(Hitchcock in

LINN
)
.

Note:
Specific epithet spelled
"polydactylon"
in the protologue. The protologue of this name included an explicit reference to the earlier
Amoen. Acad.
5: 412 (1760) (a reprint of
Pl. Jamaic. Pugillus
) where
A barbatus
L. (1759)
was the binomial used.
Andropogon polydactylos
is therefore illegitimate.
