Abstract

The Scottish botanist and forest conservator N.A. Dalzell co-authored “The Bombay Flora” with Dr. Alexander Gibson, in which five grass species from Western India were described. This work discusses the nomenclature and typification of Arundinella gigantea, Arundinella spicata, and Isachne elegans.
