nom. illeg.
Lectotype
(Hitchcock in
Contr. U. S. Natl. Herb.
12: 116. 1908):
Kalm
, Herb. Linn. No. 79.1 (
LINN

US
)
.
Current name:
Paspalum dissectum
(L.) L.
(
Poaceae
).
Note:
Baum (in
Canad. J. Bot.
45: 1845. 1967) incorrectly interpreted
Hitchcock's
choice of
lectotype
as 80.25 (LINN), and proposed a Plukenet description and illustration as
lectotype
in its place. However,
Hitchcock's
type choice of 79.1 (LINN) is original material for the name and therefore has priority.
