Lachnagrostis billardierei (R.Br.) Trin. legitimate | sensu Council of Heads of Australasian Herbaria (2008), Australian Plant Census
Avena filiformis G.Forst. auct. non G.Forst.: Labillardière, J.J.H. de (1805), Novae Hollandiae Plantarum Specimen 1(2-4): 24, t. 31
  • A.D.Chapman, Austral. Pl. Name Index 334 (1991), lists "Avena filiformis Labill." as "nom illeg. non Forster (1786)". However, Labillardiere clearly refers to Forster, so this represents a secondary usage of Forster's name rather than the publication of an illegitimate superfluous name. In this case Labillardiere misapplied Forster's name for a New Zealand taxon to an undescribed Australian species, necessitating Brown's publication of the name Agrostis billardierei for the Australian material.
