Muhlenberg, Gotthilf Heinrich Ernest

Published In: Catalogus Plantarum Americae Septentrionalis 12. 1813. (Cat. Pl. Amer. Sept.)
Annotation: Muhlenberg provided no description, but the name is validated by citation an earlier description of Poa amabilis given by Walter (1788). The latter name is considered a misaplication, and not a new taxon.
