Panicum psammophilum Welw. ex Rendle, Cat.Afr. Pl. View in CoL 2(1) (1899) 171. — Leucophrys psammophila (Welw. ex Rendle) Dandy (1931) 54. — Brachiaria psammophila (Welw. ex Rendle) Launert (1970) View in CoL 149. — Lectotype (designated here): Welwitsch 2624 (lecto BM [BM000923210]; isolecto BM [BM000923211], K [K000282068], LISU [LISU226114, LISU226115, LISU226116], MPU [MPU024608]), Angola, between Cabo Negro and Mossamedes, Cazimba prope Rio Caroca, Sept. 1859.

Distribution — Angola and Namibia.

Nomenclatural notes — Rendle (1899) worked on the collections of Welwitsch at BM when producing the Catalogue of African Plants in which P. psammophilum was published, which would then be the obvious location for the holotype . However, BM holds two sheets: BM000923210, which carries a full original label, and BM000923211, on which only part of the information is present. Therefore , the first specimen has been selected as a lectotype .
