In conclusion I wish to emphasize the responsibility connected with 
publishing a new name and the necessity of basing conclusions upon 
type specimens when these are available. If Mr. Thellung had worked 
upon the basis of type specimens I doubt if he would have published 
the combination Chloris fasciculata (L.) Thellung and certainly would not 
have applied this name to Chloris radiata (L.) Swartz.
