Agrostis javanica Houtt.

Description

3. Agrostis javanica Houtt.,

Nat. Hist. II(13): Aanwyz. Plaat. [2], 225, tab. 90, fig. 5. 1782.

Lectotypus (designated here by Veldkamp & Callmander): INDONESIA. Java: Thunberg s.n. [?] (G-PREL [G00818013]!).

= Ischaemum muticum L., Sp. Pl.: 1049. 1753.

Notes. – MERRILL (1938: 319) discussed the G-PREL specimen but did not recognise it as Houttuyn’s. A Houttuyn specimen of Agrostis javanica in L (L-908.77-91) represents Zoysia matrella (L.) Merr. (GOUDSWAARD, 1980: 170) with watermark “IV” (Jean Villedary). The single gathering present in the Houttuyn herbarium in G-PREL is designated here as the lectotype.
