TYPIIACE.E. 

 Typha, L. Gen. 1737; Tourn. Inst. 1700.

In Persoon's Synopsis this species is preceded by an asterisk and 

 placed between 1, latifolia and 2, media. In the preface he makes the 

 following statement, « Varietates praecipuaa et subspecies non omissa; 

 sunt. Speciebus obscuris, aut quoad sedem dubiis, vel accuratiori in- 

 dagationi subjiciendis, signa crucis sen asteriscum apposui." I assume 

 from this that Domingensis was used as a specific name. Kronfeld 

 (Mon. Typh.) interprets it as a subspecies. In the latter case our plant 

 becomes, T. Domingensis (Pers.) Kunth, Enu:n. iii. 1841. It is fre- 

 quently quoted T. angustifolia, L. var. Domingensis, Pers.
