Brachiaria breviglumis Clayton, Kew Bull. 34 (1980) 557. — Lectotype (designated here): Bally & Smith 14513 (lecto K [K000282052]; isolecto EA [ EA000000359 ], K [K000282053]), Kenya, Northern frontier province, Wajir, 10 Dec. 1971.

Distribution — Native to Ethiopia, Somalia and Kenya.

Nomenclatural notes — Although the protologue indicates the holotype to be at K, the type collection is composed of 2 sheets. Since there is no clear indication of the two belonging to the same specimen, these are best regarded as duplicates ( Art 8.3 of the ICN; Turland et al. 2018) and one of them has been selected as the lectotype .
