Linnaean Plant Types and their Types 343 369 book chapter https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.291971 978-0-9506207-7-0 291971 Bromus giganteus Linnaeus , Species Plantarum 1 : 77. 1753 . "Habitat in Europae sylvis siccis." RCN: 643. Lectotype (Darbyshire in Cafferty & al. in Taxon 49: 248. 2000): Herb. A. van Royen No. 913.62-78 ( L ) . Current name: Festuca gigantea (L.) Vill. ( Poaceae ). Note: Although Kerguelen (in Lejeunia , n.s., 75: 149. 1975) stated "Type: ...LINN" , this is not accepted as a formal typification, for the reasons explained by Cafferty & al. (in Taxon 49: 240. 2000). Kerguelen & Plonka (in Bull. Soc. Bot. Centre-Ouest , n.s., num. spec ., 10: 173. 1989) wrongly indicated Herb. Linn. 93.27 ( LINN ) , not original material for the name, as type and Darbyshire therefore rejected their choice in favour of van Royen material.
