  • Comment: Jackson refers to "Beauv. Agrost. 71." [i.e. A.M.F.J.Palisot de Beauvois, Ess. Agrostogr. 71, 166 (1812)], but Palisot de Beauvois does not definitely associate the final epithet with the name of the genus as required under ICN Art. 35.2 (Shenzhen Code, 2018) on p. 71, and the designation is published without a description on p. 166.
