Brachiaria grossa Stapf, Fl. Trop. Afr. 9 (1919) 547. — Lectotype (designated here): Gossweiler 1652 (lecto K [K000282072]; isolecto BM [ BM000923196 ]), Angola, Benguella , country of the Ganguellas and Ambuellas, Banco, Mar. 1905.
Distribution — Native to East and southern tropical Africa: Kenya, Tanzania, Angola, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Namibia, Botswana and Northern Provinces of South Africa.
Nomenclatural notes — In the protologue of Brachiaria grossa, Stapf (1919) cites eight specimens, all from Angola: Gossweiler 191, 1652 and 1667, Welwitsch 7362c in part and 7469, Pearson 2367, 2514 and 2440. Gossweiler 1652 is chosen as the type collection, since it comprises the richest material. Since Stapf worked at K, that duplicate material is selected as lectotype; the duplicate at BM carries an original label .
