Moliniopsis is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Poaceae.[1] It just contains one species, Moliniopsis japonica (Hack.) Hayata.[2]
It is native to south-east China, Japan, Korea, Kuril Islands (Russian Island) and Sakhalin (Russian Island).[2]
The genus name of Moliniopsis is in honour of Juan Ignacio Molina (1740–1829), was a Chilean Jesuit priest, naturalist, historian, translator, geographer, botanist, ornithologist, and linguist.[3] The Latin specific epithet of japonica means "of Japan".[4] Both genus and species were first described and published in Bot. Mag. (Tokyo) Vol.39 on page 258 in 1925.[1][2]
