Panicum reptans Linnaeus , Systema Naturae, ed. 10, 2: 870. 1759.

RCN: 486.

Lectotype (Hitchcock & Chase in Contr. U. S. Natl. Herb. 15: 36. 1910; Veldkamp in Blumea 41: 427. 1996): Browne, Herb. Linn. No. 80.52, upper specimen ( LINN) .

Current name: Brachiaria reptans (L.) C.A. Gardner & C.E. Hubb. ( Poaceae ).

Note: Veldkamp (in Blumea 41: 429. 1996) followed Hitchcock (in Contr. U. S. Natl. Herb. 12: 119. 1908) in regarding this and P. reptans L. (1759) as homotypic. However, the first clear type choice dates from Hitchcock & Chase (in Contr. U. S. Natl. Herb. 15: 36. 1910), later restricted to the upper specimen on the sheet by Veldkamp.
