Replaced synonym of: Andropogon polydactylos L. (1763) , nom. illeg.

Lectotype (Hitchcock in Contr. U. S. Natl. Herb. 12: 126. 1908): Browne, Herb. Linn. No. 1211.28 ( LINN) .

Current name: Chloris dandyana C.D. Adams ( Poaceae ).

Note: Specific epithet spelled “barbatum” in the protologue. The existence of A. barbatus L. (1771) has resulted in some nomenclatural complexities. Andropogon barbatus (1759) relates to a perennial species, recombined in Chloris as C. barbata (L.) Nash (1898) , a later homonym of the annual C. barbata Sw. (1797) (which was itself based on the illegitimated A. barbatus L. 1771 , non 1759). The correct name is C. dandyana C.D. Adams (1971) , since the only other possible name in Chloris , C. polydactyla Sw. (1788) , is based on A. polydactylos L. (1763) , an illegitimate renaming of A. barbatus L. (1759) .
