Saccharum ravennae (Linnaeus) Linnaeus, Systema Vegetabilium, ed. 13: 88. 1774.

["Habitat in Italia."] Sp. Pl., ed. 2, 2: 1481 (1763). RCN: 454.

Basionym: Andropogon ravennae L. (1763) .

Lectotype (Cope in Cafferty & al. in Taxon 49: 246. 2000): Herb. Linn. No. 77.4 (LINN) .

Current name: Saccharum ravennae (L.) L. ( Poaceae).

Note: Although Kerguélen (in Lejeunia, n.s., 75: 145. 1975) stated "Type: ...LINN", this is not accepted as a formal typification, for the reasons explained by Cafferty & al. (in Taxon 49: 240. 2000). Sherif & Siddiqi (in El-Gadi, Fl. Libya 145: 325. 1988) indicated Herb. Linn. 77.4 (LINN) and Zanoni, Istoria Botanica: t. 24 (1675) as “type”, but this is not a single gathering (Art. 9.15) so no effective choice was made.
