Phyllanthus urinaria Linnaeus 1753

Phyllanthus urinaria Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 2: 982. 1753. "Habitat in India." RCN: 7111. Lectotype (Fawcett & Rendle, Fl. Jamaica 4: 255. 1920): Herb. Hermann 1: 15; 2: 7; 3: 55; 4: 41, No. 332 (BM). Current name: Phyllanthus urinaria L. (Euphorbiaceae). Note: Fawcett & Rendle indicated type material in the Hermann herbarium (BM). Although there is material in a number of its volumes, they appear to be part of a single gathering, and this type choice is therefore accepted (Art. 9.15). No effective restriction appears to have been published. See Webster (in J. Arnold Arbor. 37: 7. 1956).Published as part of Jarvis, Charlie, 2007, Chapter 7: Linnaean Plant Names and their Types (part P), pp. 718-782 in Order out of Chaos.
