Blumea

Browne
, Herb. Linn. No. 80.52, upper specimen (
LINN
)
.
Current name:
Urochloa reptans
(L.) Stapf
(
Poaceae
).
Note:
Veldkamp (in
Blumea
41: 429. 1996) followed Hitchcock (in
Contr. U. S. Natl. Herb.
12: 119. 1908) in regarding this and
P. reptans
L. (1759)
as homotypic. However, the first clear type choice dates from Hitchcock & Chase (in
Contr. U. S. Natl. Herb.
15: 36. 1910), later restricted to the upper specimen on the sheet by Veldkamp.
