Echinochloa frumentacea (Roxb.) Link Hort. Berol. 1: 204. 1827. Basionym: Panicum frumentaceum Roxb. Hort. Bengal. 7. 1814.
Syn: Panicum crusgalli var. frumentaceum Hook. f., Fl. Brit. India 7: 31, 1896. Sathish sir, I think there would be an issue in synonymy of this taxa. Before Hook.f. Roxburgh already described this taxa in Hortus Bengalensis, thought in Flora of British India Hook.f. mentions Flora Indica which was published later. Hence the basionym should be Roxburgh's Hortus Bengalensis and not Hook.f's as written at many places. -- *********************************************** "TAXONOMISTS GETTING EXTINCT AND SPECIES DATA DEFICIENT !!"
