Chapter 7: Linnaean Plant Names and their Types (part P) Author Jarvis, Charlie Department of Botany, Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, London, UK text 2007 Linnaean Society of London in association with the Natural History Museum London Order out of Chaos.

"Habitat in Europa australi & Oriente." RCN: 475. Lectotype (Sherif & Siddiqi in El-Gadi, Fl. Libya 145: 296. 1988): Herb. Linn. No. 80.7 ( LINN ) . Current name: Setaria verticillata (L.) P. Beauv. ( Poaceae ). Note: Although Kerguelen (in Lejeunia , n.s., 75: 260. 1975) stated "Type: ...LINN" , this is not accepted as a formal typification, for the reasons explained by Cafferty & al. (in Taxon 49: 240. 2000). Cope (in Nasir & Ali, Fl. Pakistan 143: 207. 1982) stated that the type was based on a Scheuchzer account but as this is not accompanied by an illustration, it cannot be a type. Meikle ( Fl. Cyprus 2: 1861. 1985) indicated unspecified material in LINN as type but failed to distinguish between sheets 80.7 and 80.13. As they are evidently not part of a single gathering, Art. 9.15 does not apply. Sherif & Siddiqi's type choice therefore appears to be the earliest.
