Dysodium divaricatum Rich. in Pers., Syn. Pl. 2: 489 (1807). Type: ‗Hab. ad Gairam prope St. Martham,
Continentis Amer. Rich.‘ Lectotype (selected by Stuessy, 1972: 175): [1785-89, L. C. M. Richard s.n.]‘, P;
isolectotype: P. Note: Available sources are at odds over the authorship of this name. Whilst the genus can
most probably be ascribed to Richard, since his name is mentioned at the end of it, the same is not true of
the single species it contained at its inception. The Index Nominum Genericorum database suggests,
incorrectly, that Persoon is the author of both the genus and species.
