Linneus primum has duas species solas in genere uno inclusit, charactere tamen valde imperfecto 
designavit, postea plantam Americanam diversissimam (Zeugitem) addidit, eharaetere male e duabus 
formis composito. Schreber, Gen. Pl. 810, rite Zeugitem pro genere proprio restituit. 
Drecrowrs, Beauv. Agrostogr. 132, t. 23, f. 0, non H. B. et. K., est, ex icone, Apluda aristata, Linn., 
charactere tamen haud perfecto. CarawiNA, Beauv. [. c. 128, £. 23, f. 1, est evidenter A. nutica, Linn., 
sed character ibid. 1290 minime convenit, et partim ad species quasdam m£Aistirie confectus est. 
APLUDA, qualis a Beauv. ]. e. t. 23, f. 6 delineatur, est certe generis alieni, et forte Crysopogonis species.
