Nomenclatural notes — The protologue of Panicum lindiense cites a single gathering but without its location. The original material at B, the obvious lectotype, could not be located, where it was probably lost during the WWII fire. The fair number of duplicates are all rather poor in terms of the number of spikelets present. We have selected one of the sheets at BR as the lectotype since we could study it up close.
