Grout, Abel Joel

Published In: The Bryologist 6: 65. 1903. (Bryologist)
Annotation: Grout proposed Burnettia to replace Homalothecium Schimp., which he considered untenable. The genus would otherwise have been invalidly published in 1903 since he did not provide a generic diagnosis. See his editorial note in The Bryologist 7: 31 (1904).
Nomenclature Reason: *illegitimate, superfluous replacement name and later homonym

Earlier:

Burnettia Lindl. 

Replaced Synonym:

Homalothecium Schimp.  1851
