Nelson, A. and J. F. Macbride. The type species ol Dantho' 

 nia. (The Botanical Gazette. LVII. p. 530—531. 1914.) 



In a recent paper by Hitchcock is attempted to show that 

 the type species of Danthonia DC. is Avena spicata L. instead of 

 Festuca decumbens L. The writers show that the adoption of Avena 

 spicata L. as the type is purely arbitrary and that Festuca decumbens 

 L. is the real type. Jongmans.
