Gomphrena vermicularisLinnaeus, Species Plantarum1: 224. 1753.
"Habitat in Brasilia, Curassao." RCN: 1685.
Replaced synonym of: Illecebrum vermiculatumL. (1762).
Type not designated.
Original material: [icon] in Hermann, Parad. Bat.: 15. 1698; [icon] in Plukenet, Phytographia: t. 75, f. 9. 1691; Almag. Bot.: 27. 1696.
Note:Fawcett & Rendle ( Fl. Jamaica3: 141. 1914) indicated a type in LINN, but the only material that might be associated with this name (290.26) came from Browne and was a post-1753 addition to the herbarium, and is not original material for the name. Mears (in Taxon29: 88. 1980) designated material in Herb. Sloane vol. 2, fol. 108 (BM-SL, which he erroneously believed to have been collected by Hermann), which Linnaeus never saw, as lectotype. Neither of these choices can be treated as a neotypification because original material is in existence.
