.
"Habitat in India." RCN: 7111.
Lectotype
(Fawcett & Rendle,
Fl. Jamaica
4: 255. 1920): Herb. Hermann 1: 15; 2: 7; 3: 55; 4: 41, No. 332 (BM).
Current name:
Phyllanthus urinaria
L.
(
Euphorbiaceae
).
Note:
Fawcett & Rendle indicated type material in the Hermann herbarium (BM). Although there is material in a number of its volumes, they appear to be part of a single gathering, and this type choice is therefore accepted (Art. 9.15). No effective restriction appears to have been published. See Webster (in
J. Arnold Arbor
. 37: 7. 1956).
