Tragus View in CoL

Tragus View in CoL was published by Haller (1768) without a specific combination, but clearly referring to C. racemosus View in CoL L. The combination was made by Allioni (1785: 241): T. racemosus View in CoL (L.) All. The name is derived from ΤΡαγος, goat, or the plants that goats eat. Goats will eat anything, even this grass. It is conserved against the older Nazia Adans. View in CoL (1763: 31, 581). Lappago Schreb. (1789: 55) View in CoL for a diaspore similar to a λαππα, bur, is a superfluous renaming. There are 8 species, 7 were revised by Anton (1981: 55). Sulekic & Zapater (2001) added T. andicola View in CoL .
