Panicum dissectum Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 1: 57. 1753.

"Habitat in Indiis." RCN: 467.

Basionym of: Paspalum dissectum (L.) L. (1762); P. dimidiatum L. (1759), nom. illeg.

Lectotype (Hitchcock in Contr. U. S. Natl. Herb. 12: 116. 1908): Kalm, Herb. Linn. No. 79.1 (LINN; iso- US) .

Current name: Paspalum dissectum (L.) L. ( Poaceae).

Note: Baum (in Canad. J. Bot. 45: 1845. 1967) incorrectly interpreted Hitchcock’s choice of lectotype as 80.25 (LINN), and proposed a Plukenet description and illustration as lectotype in its place. However, Hitchcock’s type choice of 79.1 (LINN) is original material for the name and therefore has priority.
