Dichanthium aristatum (Poir.) C.E. Hubb. ( Hubbard 1939:654) . ( Fig. 1 )

Basionym:— Andropogon aristatus Poir. ( Poiret 1811:585) .

Lectotype (designated here):— FRANCE. Commerson P. 166 [ P03459113 ( P, image!)].

Note:—Describing Andropogon aristatus, Poiret (1811) cited the Commerson collection from the island of France [Ile de France] in the protologue. Attempts were made to locate the type specimens at K, P, L, G, LINN and UPS, we found single gathering of three sheets made by Commerson (P03459095, P03459113 and P03459122) at National Museum of Natural History, France (P). In accordance with Article 9.6 of ICN, all the representatives of the type collections are syntypes ( McNeill 2014). One of the specimens from this gathering ( France, Commerson P. 166 [P03459113]) is designated here as the lectotype, as it agrees well with the protologue, possesses a collection number and has enough floral and vegetative parts on sheet.
