Deat taxacommers,

        As a result of my request on May 3 for the original publication of the
grass Setaria macrocarpa Lucznik several people have offered to send me a
photocopy of  the Trudy Dalne-vostocnogo Fil. Akad. Nauk SSSR, Ser. Bot. 2
(1937) 879--881, t. 1. for which many thanks!!
The name was validly published, but no actual material was cited for it,
only its distribution. I'd like to see the specimens and in order to select
a type, so now I have the following questions that perhaps someone out
there can answer.

Where did Lucznik (also known as Luchnik) work?
At Dalne-vostoc? What is that place called now?

Thanks!!

JeF
