 Cortaderia dioica (Sprang.) Speg., Nov. Add. Flor. Patag., Ill, p. 194. 

 This is the full synonymy; the correct specific name is Selloana, not 

 dioica: Ascherson & Graebner explain this in Syn. Europ. Flora, II, p. 



C. ARAUCANA Stapf. in Gardener's Chronicle, 1897, P- 39^-

 Macl., p. 215 : 



E. ERAGROSTIS (L.) Karst. Macl., p. 215. 

 This name should be replaced by

E. delicatula Trin. is to be deleted as an independent species, and 

 should be placed as a variety of E. pilosa (L.) Beauv.; thus : 



E. PILOSA (L.) Beauv. var. DELICATULA (Trin.) Hack. 



(Syn. E. delicatula Trin.) 

 Add Macl., p. 216: 



KOELERIA Pers. 



K. BERGII Hieron.
