Urochloa ambigens (Chiov.) Oulo, Zon & Sosef View in CoL , comb. nov.

Brachiaria ambigens Chiov., Webbia 8 (1951) 62. — Type: Corradi 967 (holo FT [FT000193, FT000194 ]), Ethiopia, Vacille , 25-IX-1939.

Distribution — Native to Ethiopia, Kenya and Tanzania.

Nomenclatural notes — Brachiaria ambigens is quoted as an unplaced name in the WFO Plant List (2023), but it was accepted as a distinct species by Clayton & Renvoize (1982) and Phillips (1995). The protologue mentions a single collection; the type is located at FT (see their on-line database at https:// www.jacq.org); it is composed of two sheets, which both clearly belong to the same specimen.
