Chapter 7: Linnaean Plant Names and their Types (part A) Author Jarvis, Charlie Department of Botany, Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, London, UK text 2007 Linnaean Society of London in association with the Natural History Museum London Order out of Chaos.

"Habitat in Virginia." RCN: 7166. Lectotype (Fernald in Rhodora 47: 139, pl. 887. 1945): Clayton 442 (BM-000051563). Current name: Amaranthus graecizans L. ( Amaranthaceae ). Note: Although some (e.g. Burtt & Lewis in Kew Bull. 7: 352. 1952) have treated this as a nomen confusum , most recent authors have not. Fernald's type choice of a Clayton collection appears to be the earliest, although many later authors have followed Dandy & Melderis (in Fernandes, Bol. Soc. Brot. , ser . 2, 31: 191. 1957) in accepting 1117.3 (LINN) as the type.
