Houttuyn provided the binomial Bromus japonicus in Aanwyzing der Plaaten [p. 2] but the description was included in Natuurlijke Historie on p. 315.  Aanwyzing der Plaaten was sometimes included in Natuurlijke Historie which allows for B. japonicus Houttuyn to be the earliest acceptable name over B. japonicus Thunberg 1784 and Murray 1784 (Tropicos 2024 & IPNI 2024).
