"Habitat in China." RCN: 472. Replaced synonym of: Alopecurus indicus L. (1774) , nom. illeg. Lectotype (Veldkamp in Cafferty & al. in Taxon 49: 253. 2000): Herb. Linn. No. 80.1 ( LINN ) . Current name: Pennisetum alopecuroides (L.) Spreng. ( Poaceae ). Note: Chase (in Amer. J. Bot. 8: 48. 1921) discussed the application of the name, suggesting that it "should be restricted ... leaving the Chinese specimen as the type (= Pennisetum alopecuroides (L.) Spreng. ) but not as Sprengel applied the name". However, her use of the uncertain term "should" , and uncertainty about which of the specimens at LINN she may have intended (80.1 and 80.2 are candidates), means this cannot be accepted as a typification.
