Petiveria alliaceaLinnaeus, Species Plantarum1: 342. 1753.
"Habitat in Jamaicae nemorosis." RCN: 2626.
Lectotype(Barrie in Jarvis & al., Regnum Veg.127: 74. 1993): Herb. Clifford: 141, Petiveria1 (BM-000558594).
Generitypeof PetiveriaLinnaeus.
Note:Fawcett & Rendle ( Fl. Jamaica3: 158. 1914) stated "type in Herb. Linn.", evidently intending sheet 472.1 (LINN), and this choice has been followed by authors such as Nowicke (in Ann. Missouri Bot. Gard.55: 344. 1969) and Ghosh & Sikdar (in J. Econ. Taxon. Bot.4: 155. 1983). However, the sheet lacks a Species Plantarumnumber (i.e. "1"), written by Linnaeus, and is a post-1753 addition to the collection and so not original material for the name. Barrie's1993 choice is therefore accepted here.
