FigS. 1-3</p><p>Perennial herbs, 10–60 cm high, glaucous, slender, densely tufted mat-forming, with distinct thickets interconnected by network of woody stolons. Culms long, slender, stiff, geniculately ascending with bulbous thickened/swollen bases (thickening velvety-tomentose), clothed with blade-less or reduced-bladed. Leaf sheath glaucous, striated, shorter than the internodes, papillose long-hispid with bulbous based trichomes, loose near the base, quite disintegrating in appearance in mature plants in the lower parts of culm. Blades 3–16 × 0.18–0.2 cm, linear-lanceolate, acuminate, glaucous, scattered papillose-hispid especially along the margins, with bulbous-based trichomes 0.5–2 mm long, sparsely dispersed, deciduous with age; older blades studded with remnants of trichome bases. Ligule c. 0.8 mm long, membranous, truncate, lacerated, and slightly ciliolate. Inflorescence a terminal, a digitately radiating fascicle consisting 3–4(–7) spikes, each spike 0.5–2.3 cm long, falcately curved or sub-patently projecting. Rachis stout, scabrid, minutely ciliolate on the angles, pilose in the junction, somewhat triangular in cross section, excurrent into a pungent mucro of 0.3–3(–5) mm in length, dis-articulating with a transverse constriction or articulation at the base. Spikelets 4– 8(–10) mm long, of variable sizes, those occupying the middle of the rachis being longer than those towards the ends, solitary, biseriately secund on the inner concavity of the stout rachis, laterally compressed, ovate, sessile, disarticulating above the glume not between the florets, 3–7(12)–flowered (terminal 1–2 florets reduced to lemma, vestigial or staminate, 0.8–1.2 mm long). Lower glume 1.8– 2.5 × 1 mm, ovate, 1-nerved, strongly carinate, midrib rigid, sides membranous, sub-hyaline, glabrous, scabrous. Upper glume up to 1.5–2.3 mm long (excluding awn), elliptic or somewhat oblong, 1-nerved, strong midrib extended into a sub-apical awn c. 1.2 mm long, long, sides sub-rigid with hyaline margin, glabrous, scaberulous. Lowest pair of florets in the spikelet equal or sub-equal. Lemmas 3–3.8 × 1.8 mm, narrowly ovate-elliptic, lanceolate, never gibbous, 3-nerved (midrib rigid, quite smooth, lateral nerves sub-marginal, gradually evanescent), thick, coriaceous, glabrous, smooth, tip obtuse to mucronulate (mucro c. 0.8 mm long). Palea 2.8–3 × 0.8–(–1) mm, elliptic, 2-keeled, membranous, margin inflexed, keels thick, moderately scabrid, wingless, tip acute and undivided.

Hitherto, there is no sign of any considerable decline or threat. It manages to survive in human settlements and on the fringes of cultivated fields, roads, and lanes in towns. Based on this information, according to IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria (2019), we assess this species as Least Concern (LC) .</p><p>Typification: Boissier (1859) wrote “Hab. in ditione Scinde cl. Griffith N̊ 637”. According to Cope (1982) Boissier misquoted Griffith as the collector of the type specimens of Dactyloctenium scindicum . However, the type specimens were originally collected by J.E. stocks from Sindh [Scinde] present day Pakistan. Boissier cited only a gathering as “ Griffith 637” and did not indicate the particular herbarium. We located four type specimens corresponding to the information in the protologue at G (G00799884) &amp; K (K000245134, K000245135 &amp; K000245136). Boissier did not indicate which one of these four specimens were a holotype. Later, Clayton et al. (1974) indicated holotype at G and isotypes at K. According to Art. 9.6 of International Code of Nomenclature (Turland et al., 2018), there is no holotype of this name in absence of any indication by Boisser; these specimens are rather syntypes. The action of Clayton et al. (1974) resulted in an inadvertent lectotypification by calling specimen at G a holotype. A second step, according to Turland et al. (2018), is required to establish the identity of the name D. scindicum with the particular specimen. Thus, we designate the herbarium specimen at G (G00799884) (Fig. 1) as a lectotype of the name because it was originated from Boissier’s herbarium and has annotations “637 Dactyloctenium sp. nov. Scinde” corresponding to the protologue and the specimen agrees well with the description given in the protologue. The other three duplicates at K (K000245134, K000245135 &amp; K000245136) are considered isolectotype.</p><p>Notes: In D. scindicum the spikes are arranged in a compact head, variable in appearance, sub-patently projecting when young (much similar in appearance to that of D. aristatum) and falcately decurved when dried and mature, dis-articulating at the base as a single unit (Fig. 2). The lemma of D. scindicum is non-gibbous, obtuse to mucronulate or acute but never aristate or acuminate, and the keels are quite smooth (Fig. 3). These features are unique to this species and equally helpful for distinguishing it from D. aegyptium, D. australe, and D. aristatum . In some cases [Shahid Nawaz JP80 (BLAT), Rajasthan &amp; M. Mosnier 3353 (P), from the Arabian Peninsula], the number of florets in the spikelet is approximately 10–12, giving a very peculiar appearance to the overall spikes, yet no peculiar differences in length of the anthers, size of the lemmas, shape and ornamentation of the caryopsis and size of the glumes were observed. Such forms have been encountered infrequently in the drier regions of Rajasthan, Northern Gujarat and the Arabian Peninsula. The leaves are of variable length, longer and finely pubescent in wet damp areas and shorter, linear, rigid, sometimes conduplicate, and papillose-hispid in drier areas. The basal portion of the culms is bulged, with distinct thickenings being interconnected by slender stolons; this feature can be utilized to establish its identity even in the vegetative state. The caryopsis is transversely rugose (Fig. 3), but not as coarsely rugose as that of D. aegyptium .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/64368F0E8720E862FF81F187FD56C3DA	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

It differs from D. scindicum with its rather long spikes (1.5–5 cm long vs. 0.5–2.3 cm long); lemma (gibbous and acuminate vs. non-gibbous and obtuse to mucronate); culms (not bulbous-based vs. bulbous-based) and stolons (non-woody, not coming from distinct thickets vs. woody, coming from distinct thickets). Dactyloctenium australe may easily be confused with the perennial forms of D. aegyptium, yet the latter can be distinguished in shorter anthers c. 0.8 mm long vs. 1.3–1.7 mm long in the former.</p><p>Until Bor (1960), Dactyloctenium australe was never reported from India. According to him, it was introduced in India as a lawn grass. The specimens G. A. Gammie 15395 (barcode: BLAT83342) and H. Santapau 211.3 (barcode: BLAT83344) were sent to K from BLAT by H. Santapau under the authority of Bor for identification (according to personal letters of Santapau to Bor archived at BLAT). Bor (1960) identified these two specimens as D. australe and it is very likely that his identification was taken up by subsequent workers from India to further identify this species. The first author has critically examined three specimens (G. A. Gammie 15395, P. Divakar PD2744 (barcode: BLAT83343) H. Santapau 211.3 from Maharashtra state) previously identified as D. australe at BLAT and found that the anthers are only 0.4–0.5 mm in length, which implies that the specimens are of D. aegyptium . Bor (1960) used the character of perennial habit to separate D. australe from D. aegyptium, the latter of which according to him is an obligatory annual. However, it could be sometimes perennial in certain habitats, such as on the seashore, and drier places. In these cases, it is very difficult to separate either one by following the key provided in Bor (1960), and the probabilities for their misidentification are much higher. Such a case is seen in the recent report from Telangana state by Nagaraju et al. (2021); according to them their grass is D. australe and is an addition to the flora of Telangana state. The reported species is perennial and showing anthers c. 0.4 mm long, which implies that it is a misidentification of the perennial form of D. aegyptium away from the coast where it is infrequently seen. Nagaraju et al. (2021), followed identification key given in Bor (1960), which is misleading, as discussed above. We followed Clayton et al. (2006) and Fish et al. (2015) for the identification of D. australe . Hitherto, we have not found D. australe in our survey or in any herbaria (BSI, BLAT, WCAS, BSJO and BAMU) so far visited in India. There is no evidence of the presence of this species in India. Therefore, we eliminate D. australe from Indian grasses.</p><p>Dactyloctenium aegyptium specimens examined (previously identified as D. scindicum):</p><p>INDIA, Gujarat, Kuchchh district [Kutch], Narayan Sarovar, Lakhpattaluka, 25.09.2000, V.
