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 praecipuse et subspecies non oinissas 

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

 dagationi subjiciendis, signa crucis seu 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, Enum. iii. 1841. It is fre- 

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