History note
- Guinea grass used to be known as Panicum maximum Jacq. In 2003, the subgeneric name Megathyrsus was raised to generic rank and the plant was renamed Megathyrsus maximus (Jacq.) B. K. Simon & S. W. L. Jacobs (Simon et al., 2003). However, the name Panicum maximum is still found in literature posterior to 2003.
