Jarvis, Charlie, 2007, Chapter 7: Linnaean Plant Names and their Types (part C), Order out of Chaos. Linnaean Plant Types and their Types, London: Linnaean Society of London in association with the Natural History Museum, pp. 370-473 : 406

Cestrum vespertinum Linnaeus , Mantissa Plantarum Altera: 206. 1771.

"Habitat in America." RCN: 1504.

Lectotype ( Benítez & D’Arcy in Ann. Missouri Bot. Gard. 85: 281. 1998): Herb. Linn. No. 258.2 ( LINN) .

Current name: Cestrum alternifolium (Jacq.) O.E. Schulz ( Solanaceae ).

Note: Benítez & D’Arcy (l.c.) treat a footnote to the account of Chiococca racemosa L. in Syst. Nat. ed. 12, 2: 165. 1767) as a new binomial, Chiococca alternifolia L. (a taxonomic synonym of Cestrum alternifolium (Jacq.) O.E. Schultz ). However, it is far from clear that this was accepted as a valid name by Linnaeus, and it is not accepted as such here.
