Mozambique, Gaza District, between Chibuto and Canicado by R. Limpopo, Barbosa & Lemos 7999 (typ. cons.: K [proposé par Verdcourt, Taxon, 38: 522. 1989]; ICT: COI, LISC, LNJ).
D'après
The Linnean Plant Name Typification Project: "Brenan (in Hubbard & Milne-Redhead, Fl. Trop. E. Africa, Leguminosae 1: 43. 1953) chose a Commelin plate as lectotype, Barneby (
in Tan, Davis & Hedge Festschr.: 139. 1989) later restricting this to the leaves, which he identified as of
M. vellosiella Herter. To avoid the consequent changes, Verdcourt (
in Taxon 38: 522. 1989) successfully proposed the name for conservation with a conserved type. Cowan (
in Nuytsia 11: 17. 1996), however, criticised both Verdcourt's "weedy" choice of type and the conservation of the name." Voir aussi Taxon, 42: 695. 1993.
