ID remarks:
Hitchcock (in Contr. U. S. Natl. Herb. 12: 120. 1908) designated 84.35 (LINN) as the type but this is a Patrick Browne collection that was not acquired by Linnaeus until 1758 and, as noted by Hubbard (in Agron. Lusit. 28: 68. 1966), cannot be original material for the name. Parham (in Smith, Fl. Vitiensis Nova 1: 308. 1979) stated "Apparently a Sloane specimen from Jamaica is the principal basis of Linnaeus' species" but Linnaeus did not study this material, and Parham's statement in any case falls short of formal typification.
