Verbena jamaicensis Linnaeus , Species Plantarum 1: 19. 1753.

"Habitat in Jamaica & Carabaeis." RCN: 154.

Lectotype (Fernandes in Bol. Soc. Brot., sér. 2, 57: 100. 1984): Herb. Linn. No. 7.13 ( S) .

Current name: Stachytarpheta jamaicensis (L.) Vahl ( Verbenaceae ).

Note: Moldenke & Moldenke (in Dassanayake & Fosberg, Revised Handb. Fl. Ceylon 4: 253. 1983) indicated 35.2 (LINN) as the type, but this is a Patrick Browne collection which was not received by Linnaeus until 1758 and cannot therefore be original material for this name.
