Andropogon nardus Linnaeus View in CoL , Species Plantarum 2: 1046. 1753.

"Habitat in India ." RCN: 7559.

Lectotype (Clayton & Renvoize in Polhill, Fl. Trop. E. Africa, Gramineae 3: 764. 1982): Herb. Hermann 2: 66, No. 45 (BM-000594628) .

Current name: Cymbopogon nardus (L.) Rendle View in CoL View at ENA ( Poaceae ).

Note: Although Stapf (in Bull. Misc. Inform. Kew 1906: 314. 1906) refers to Hermann’s specimen at BM "on which the species finally rests", and (p. 354) "based on Hermann’s specimen of ‘Pengriman.’ - Original at the British Museum", this is not accepted as formal typification, and nor is Soenarko’s statement (in Reinwardtia 9: 349. 1977) "Type: Ceylon, Hermann’s specimen", due to the absence of any indicated herbarium. The earliest explicit choice appears to be that of Clayton & Renvoize.
