Bentham, G. (March 1878), Flora Australiensis 7: 576 [tax. nov.]

• Type: "N.S. Wales. Nattai, Mrs. Calvert; New England, C. Stuart. Victoria. Dandenong Ranges, Broken River, sources of the Goulburn, F. Mueller; Portland, Allitt."

• Comment: 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 legitimately establishes the autonym under the earlier homonym of Willdenow.
