Panicum italicum

.
"Habitat in Indiis." RCN: 478.
Lectotype
(Veldkamp in Cafferty & al. in
Taxon
49: 253. 2000): Herb. A. van Royen No. 912.356-242 (
L
)
.
Current name:
Setaria italica
(L.) P. Beauv.
(
Poaceae
).
Note:
Although
Kerguelen
(in
Lejeunia
, n.s., 75: 259. 1975) stated "Type:
...LINN"
, this is not accepted as a formal typification, for the reasons explained by Cafferty & al. (in
Taxon
49: 240. 2000). Meikle (
Fl. Cyprus
2: 1860. 1985), Sherif & Siddiqi (in El-Gadi,
Fl. Libya
145: 298. 1988), Pensiero & Judziewicz (in
Goerts-van
Rijn,
Fl. Guianas
, ser. A, 8: 585. 1990) and Veldkamp (in
Blumea
39: 377. 1994) have all indicated material at LINN as type, but sheet 80.14 is a post-1753 addition to the herbarium, and therefore ineligible as original material. In the absence of other relevant material at LINN, Veldkamp designated a van Royen collection as
lectotype
.
