[Text as on label:] [Verso:] [A. Dahl scripsit:] Pan. lanatum Forskåhl [J.E. Wikström scripsit:] Herb. Alstroemerii. [A. Dahl scripsit:] Dahl a D Vahl [Comments:] [Watermark: ProPatria. Johannes Lundberg 2008-02-08: cp. T. A. Cope, 1980, Kew Bulletin 35(3): 451-452, who conclude that the combination Lasiurus hirsutus (Forssk.) Boiss. is mistaken, and should be L. hirsutus (Vahl) Boiss., based on Rottboellia hirsuta Vahl, which is a nom. superfl. (based on L. aegilopoides Forssk., for which a type specimen is not known, see F.N. Hepper & I. Friis, 1993, The Plants of Pehr Forsskål's Flora Aegyptiaco-Arabica, p. 280); thus is also Boissier's combination illegitime, and furthermore represents a distinct taxon from Forsskål's Saccharum hirsutum. The type status of this specimen at S is thus in great doubt; furthermore, the name written on the verso of the sheet ("Pan. lanatum", i.e., Panicum lanatum) is published by Rottbøll (1776) based on a specimen collected by Rolander for what is now known as Digitaria insularis (L.) Mez ex Ekman, a taxon from tropical America, and by Swartz (1778) based on a specimen from Jamaica (now known as Lasiacis sorghoidea (Ham.) Hitchcock & Chase), has never been attributed to any taxon described by Forsskål.]
