Stace & Jarvis (in
Bot. J. Linn. Soc.
91: 441. 1985) noted that this is an illegitimate replacement name, published in September 1762, for
Nardus incurva
Gouan
(
Hort. Reg. Monsp.
: 33. Apr 1762). Linnaeus cited the latter as a synonym of
N. aristata
(Sep 1762)
in the Appendix to
Sp. Pl.
, ed. 2, 2: 1676 (1763).
