Portulaca quadrifida Linnaeus , Systema Naturae, ed. 12, 2: 328; Mantissa Plantarum: 73. 1767.

"Habitat in Aegypto." RCN: 3460.

Lectotype (designated here by Phillips): [icon] " Portulaca Corassavica lanuginosa procumbens" in Hermann, Parad. Bat.: 215. 1698.

Current name: Portulaca quadrifida L. ( Portulacaceae ).

Note: Geesink (in Blumea 17: 290. 1969) indicated material in LINN as the type but there are no annotations linking any of the material there with this name. Phillips (in Beentje, Fl. Trop. E. Africa, Portulacaceae : 8. 2002) indicated the cited Hermann figure as type but this choice was published after 1 Jan 2001 and so the omission of the phrase "designated here" or an equivalent (Art. 7.11) means that this choice is not effective. However, it is validated here.
