Panicum fluviicola Steudel 1854

Scientific clarification of Panicum fluviicola's taxonomic identity and distribution. This study resolves long-standing ambiguity by designating lectotypes for P. fluviicola and its synonyms, confirming the species' widespread presence across tropical Africa from marshes to cultivated rice fields at 60–1600 m elevation. It also clarifies nomenclature conflicts (e.g., P. purpurascens, P. radicosum) by designating lectotypes for these taxa, ensuring stable identification. The research relies on herbarium specimen analysis and protologue alignment, providing a foundation for future ecological or agronomic studies.
