["Habitat in Jamaica."] Sp. Pl., ed. 2, 1: 82 (1762). RCN: 471. Lectotype ( Guedes in Taxon 25: 513. 1976): Herb. Linn. No. 79.9, second specimen from the left ( LINN ) . Current name: Paspalum distichum L. ( Poaceae ). Note: Renvoize & Clayton (in Taxon 29: 339-340. 1980) proposed the name for rejection as a nomen confusum. However, the Committee for Spermatophyta (in Taxon 32: 281. 1983) declined to support rejection, and the name is therefore in use in the sense of the typification made by Guedes . De Koning & Sosef (in Blumea 30: 296. 1985) provide a summary.
