Lectotypification of names in the genus Eragrostis Wolf (Poaceae)

In the present work three names within the genus Eragrostis viz, Eragrostis coarctata, E. plana and E. superba have been typified. Lectotypification has been performed for E. coarctata, and Second-step lectotypification has been done for the names E. plana and E. superba. For lectotypification, the rules and recommendations proposed by the International Code of Nomen-clature for algae, fungi and plants (ICN) have been strictly followed. The se-lection of lectotypes are explained and the images of selected lectotypes are provided.
