"Habitat in Virginia." RCN: 880. Lectotype (Reveal & al. in Huntia 7: 234. 1987): [icon] " Rubia tetraphyllos glabra latiore folio Bermudensis, seminibus binis atropurpureis" in Plukenet, Phytographia: t. 248, f. 6. 1692; Almag. Bot.: 324. 1696. - Typotype : Dickinson s.n. , Bermuda (32: 82, BMSL). Current name: Galium bermudense L. ( Rubiaceae ). Note: Britten (in J. Bot. 47: 41-42. 1909) discussed this name in detail, concluding that it should be used in the sense of the Plukenet plate, and making the combination Relbunium bermudense (L.) Britten to accompany it. However, he did not explicitly designate a type though Reveal & al. subsequently did so. Weatherby & Blake (in Rhodora 18: 193. 1916) proposed that the name be rejected as a nomen confusum ; see Gillis & Proctor (in Sida 6: 59. 1975). Although evidently a mixture with G. pilosum Aiton , typification has subsequently established correct usage of the name.
