Setaria punctata (Burm. f.) Veldkamp, 1994

Jarvis, Charlie, 2007, Chapter 7: Linnaean Plant Names and their Types (part P), Order out of Chaos. Linnaean Plant Types and their Types, London: Linnaean Society of London in association with the Natural History Museum, pp. 718-782 : 720

Panicum brizoides Linnaeus , Mantissa Plantarum Altera: 184. 1771, nom. illeg.

"Habitat in India. Koenig." RCN: 482.

Replaced synonym: Panicum punctatum Burm. f. (1768) .

Type not designated.

Current name: Setaria punctata (Burm. f.) Veldkamp ( Poaceae ).

Note: As noted by Veldkamp (in Blumea 39: 381-382. 1994), this is an illegitimate renaming of P. punctatum Burm. f. (1768), and therefore homotypic with it. Earlier treatments, where this had not been recognised and the Linnaean name treated as legitimate, had placed P. brizoides as a synonym of Echinochloa colona (L.) Link.
