Treatment

Solanum nigrum View in CoL L., Sp. Pl. View Cited Treatment 1: 186 (1753). – Type: Anon. s.n. (lectotype LINN [ LINN-HL

248.18], designated by Henderson, Contr. Queensland Herb. 16: 19 [1974]).

Solanum roxburghii Dunal, Prodr. 13(1): 57 (1852). – Type: [published illustration] Wight, Icon. Pl. Ind.

[ Hb Wight 2326] (epitype E [ E00718973 ], designated by Särkinen et al., PhytoKeys 106: 94 [2018]) .

Dunal based Solanum roxburghii in part on Roxburgh’s description of Solanum rubrum L.

Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench, Methodus 207 (1794). – Holcus bicolor L., Mant. Pl. 2: 301 (1771). – Type: Herb. Clifford 468, Holcus 1 (lectotype BM [BM000647533], designated by Davidse in Cafferty et al., Taxon 49: 251 [2000]).

The taxonomy of cultivated sorghum View in CoL is complex, and various names seem to be wanting a full resolution of their typification. I have made little headway with the taxa named after Roxburgh.

Sparaxis roxburghii (Baker) Goldblatt, Ann. View in CoL Missouri Bot. Gard. 79(1): 156 (1992). – Synnotia bicolor var. roxburghii Baker, Handb. Irid.

Spatholobus parViflorus (Roxb. ex DC.) Kuntze, Rev. Gen. Pl. View in CoL 1: 205 (1891). – Butea parviflora Roxb. ex DC., Prodr. View in CoL 2: 415 (1825). – Spatholobus roxburghii Benth. View in CoL in Miquel, Pl. Jungh. 2:

Butea parviflora Roxb., Fl. Ind. View in CoL 3: 248 (1832), nom. illegit., non B. parviflora Roxb. ex DC. (1825) View in CoL . – Type: [unpublished illustration] Icones Roxburghianae 1990 (lectotype K, designated by Thuân, Fl. Cambodge, Laos, Vietnam 17: 102 [1979]).

Spatholobus roxburghii Benth View in CoL , represents a superfluous renaming of Butea parviflora Roxb. ex DC. Ridder-Numan & Wiriadinata (1985) View in CoL referred to a Roxburgh specimen in BR as type of Butea parviflora Roxb. ex DC. However View in CoL , there is a specimen in G-DC that fits the citation in the protologue [v.s. sine fr. ex hort. Calc.] much better and is here designated as lectotype. George Don and Roxburgh also published the name, creating later homonyms.
