**

<p>Houttuyn provided the binomial <em><strong>Bromus japonicus</strong></em> in <em>Aanwyzing der Plaaten</em> [p. 2] but the description was included in <em>Natuurlijke Historie</em> on p. 315.&nbsp; <em>Aanwyzing der Plaaten</em> was sometimes included in <em>Natuurlijke Historie</em> which allows for <em><strong>B. japonicus</strong></em> Houttuyn to be the earliest acceptable name over <em><strong>B. japonicus</strong></em> Thunberg 1784 and Murray 1784 (<strong>Tropicos 2024</strong> &amp; <strong>IPNI 2024</strong>).</p>
