"Habitat ad Cap. b. Spei." RCN: 7115. Lectotype (Burtt in Jarvis & al., Regnum Veg. 127: 31. 1993): Herb. Linn. No. 332.9 ( LINN ) . Generitype of Centella Linnaeus (vide Coulter & Rose in Contr. U. S. Natl. Herb. 7: 30. 1900). Current name: Centella villosa L. ( Apiaceae ). Note: As noted by Burtt (in Notes Roy. Bot. Gard. Edinburgh 48: 199. 1991), although the binomial appears first in Pl. Rar. Afr. : 28 (1760), the generic name was not validated until the publication of Gen. Pl. , ed. 6 (1763, by association with Sp. Pl. ed. 2), so C. villosa dates from 1763.
