• APC Comment: When publishing the name Triglochin, C.Linnaeus, Sp. Pl. 338 (1753) treated it as of neuter gender (e.g. T. palustre, T. maritimum). G.Bentham, Fl. Austral. 7: 165-169 (1878) treated it as feminine, presumably on the basis that "glochin" is feminine, and he was followed by most subsequent Australian authors. Since the 1990s there has been a general consensus to accept Linnaeus' original choice of neuter. However, the ICN (Art. 62.2 (b.) Ex. 5, Melbourne Code (2012)) mandates a feminine gender for Triglochin, which is adopted here.
