Basionym of Sasaella hisauchii (Poaceae)

Abstract

Although Makino (1926) published Sasa hisauchii as a new combination for Pseudosasa hisauchii (Three Pl. New Jap., 1925), the relevant literature was never published. The earliest name for this species is Sasa hisauchii Makino (1926), and Pseudosasa hisauchii (Makino) Makino (1928), Sasaella hisauchii (Makino) Makino (1929), Arundinaria hisauchii (Makino) Nakai (1934), and Nipponobambusa hisauchii (Makino) Muroi (1961), are all regarded to be based on Sasa hisauchii.
