Treatment

Amaranthus graecizans Linnaeus View in CoL , Species Plantarum 2: 990. 1753.

"Habitat in Virginia." RCN: 7166.

Lectotype (Fernald in Rhodora 47: 139, pl. 887. 1945): Clayton 442 (BM-000051563).

Current name: Amaranthus graecizans L. View in CoL ( Amaranthaceae ).

Note: Although some (e.g. Burtt & Lewis in Kew Bull. 7: 352. 1952) have treated this as a nomen confusum, most recent authors have not. Fernald’s type choice of a Clayton collection appears to be the earliest, although many later authors have followed Dandy & Melderis (in Fernandes, Bol. Soc. Brot., sér. 2, 31: 191. 1957) in accepting 1117.3 (LINN) as the type.
