Urochloa bovonei (Chiov.) Torres Gonz.& C.M.Morton (2005) View in CoL 42. — Panicum bovonei Chiov. (1914) View in CoL 42. — Brachiaria bovonei (Chiov.) Robyns (1932) View in CoL 174. — Lectotype (designated here): Bovone 89 (lecto TO; isolecto K, photo), Zaire, Bianos.

Brachiaria hians Stapf (1919) View in CoL 514. — Lectotype (designated here): Homblé 5 (lecto K [K000282155]; isolecto BR [BR0000008645128, BR000000 View Materials - 8645135]), Zaire, Katanga , 1911.

Brachiaria viridula Stapf (1919) View in CoL 515. — Lectotype (designated here): W.J. Dowson 296 (lecto K [K000282080]), Zimbabwe,Salisbury, 27 Sept.1915.

Distribution — From Angola and the Democratic Republic of the Congo east to Kenya and Ethiopia, south to Zimbabwe.

Nomenclatural notes — Although we did not see the lectotype of Panicum bovonei , its presence at TO was confirmed by the curator .

The protologue of Brachiaria viridula mentions six specimens, to be regarded as syntypes. From amongst these, we have chosen W.J. Dowson 296 as the lectotype since it is the only syntype that carries a drawing showing a detailed analysis of the spikelet prepared by Stapf.
