Cynosurus caeruleus
Linnaeus
,
Species Plantarum
1
: 72. 1753
.
"Habitat in Europae pascuis uliginosis." RCN: 608.
Lectotype
(Rauschert in
Feddes Repert.
79: 412. 1969): [icon]
"
Gramen
glumis variis"
in Bauhin, Prodr. Theatri Bot.: 21. 1620. -
Epitype
(Foggi & al. in
Taxon
50: 1103. 2002): Herb. Bauhin "
Gramen
glumis variis. Monspel." (
BAS
)
.
Current name:
Sesleria caerulea
(L.)
Ard. (
Poaceae
).
Note:
See Foggi & al. (in
Taxon
50: 1101. 2002) for a review of the application of this name. Their acceptance of
Rauschert's
choice of
lectotype
(and their own epitypification) fixes the application of the name to the plant of dry grasslands (also known as
S. varia
(Jacq.) Wettst.
or
S. albicans
Kit. ex Schult.
), leaving
S. uliginosa
Opiz
as the correct name for the plant of wet places.
