The Australian species referred to Ichnanthus Beauv. (Gramineae)

Abstract

The opinion is expressed that the genus Ichnanthus Beauv. is represented in Australia by only one species, I. Vicinus (Bail.) Merr. It is proposed to re-establish in Panicum L. three species currently referred to Ichnanthus and transfer to it Ichnanthus muelleri Hughes. A revised account is given of the species concerned as to taxonomy, distribution, and economics.
