Typification of eight current and seven related names and a new section in the genus Bromus (Bromeae, Pooideae, Poaceae) Author Llamas, Felix Author Acedo, Carmen text PhytoKeys 2019 121 53 72 http://dx.doi.org/10.3897/phytokeys.121.30254 journal article http://dx.doi.org/10.3897/phytokeys.121.30254 1314-2003-121-53 A90CEB1FFFFDE325FFC1FFD53E14FF93 2702029 Bromus erectus Huds., Fl. Angl.: 39 (1762) Bromus erectus Huds., Fl. Angl.: 39 (1762). Type Protologue: "Habitat in cretaceis circa Rochester, Dartford and Gravesend, in Cantio". Type: United Kingdom. England: Kent, near Wye, grassland on chalk. 12 Jun. 1964, S.T. Blake 22178 (neotype, designated here: K [K000618780!]; isoneotype: BRI [BRI 252046 image!]). (Figure 4) Remarks. As a fire in his house destroyed Hudson's personal herbarium, most specimens were lost and only those borrowed by other botanists are extant. Some specimens which Hudson sent to Linnaeus are preserved in the herbarium of the Linnean Society of Lon don (LINN) but none of them is Bromus erectus Huds. There is also one sheet conserved in BM that does not seem to be original material. As Hudson did not give any other reference and, as no original material of B. erectus Huds. is available, a neotype must be designated (ICN, Art. 9.13). We searched for material coming from Kent ( "Cantium" , England) in K and selected one specimen consistent with the protologue as neotype. It was collected in Kent, near Wye. There is a duplicate of it in BRI, which is an isoneotype. Figure 4. Neotype selected for Bromus erectus Huds. Sheet preserved at Herbarium K, barcode K00618780.
