Agrostis scabra Willd. var. scabra APC legitimate | sensu Council of Heads of Australasian Herbaria (2014), Australian Plant Census
  • Listed by A.D.Chapman, Austral. Pl. Name Index 141 (1991), as the autonym established by A. scabra var. elatior. Agrostis scabra Willd. is regarded as a misapplication to A. parviflora R.Br., although the autonym has not been used in the Australian literature. While G.Bentham, Fl. Austral. 7: 576 (1878), described Agrostis scabra var. elatior under Agrostis scabra R.Br., his varietal name remains valid under the earlier homonym, and thus legitimately establishes the autonym under the earlier homonym of Willdenow.
