Current name: Panicum coloratum L. ( Poaceae).

Note: Clayton & Renvoize (in Polhill, Fl. Trop. E. Africa, Gramineae 3: 485. 1982) indicated material at LINN as type but did not distinguish between sheets 80.45 and 80.46. As these do not appear to be part of a single gathering, Art. 9.15 does not apply.
