Krameria ixine Linnaeus , Systema Naturae, ed. 10, 2: 899. 1759.

["Habitat in Cumana Americae."] Sp. Pl., ed. 2, 1: 177 (1762). RCN: 1004.

Neotype (Simpson, Fl. Neotropica 49: 81. 1989): Venezuela. Sucre, 18km SE of Cumaná on the road to Cumanocoa, 22 Dec 1976, Simpson 8504 (BM; iso- NY, TEX, US).

Current name: Krameria ixine L. ( Krameriaceae ).

Note: This is the generitype of Krameria Loefl. (Iter Hisp.: 195. 1758). Although some authors (e.g. Simpson in Fl. Neotropica 49: 81. 1989) have regarded the binomial as dating from 1758, it seems clear that "Ixine Loefl." is there intended as a generic synonym of Krameria , rather than as a specific epithet to be combined with it.
