Sesleria vaginalis Boiss. & Orph. in Boissier, Diagn. pl. orient. sér. 2, 4: 130–131. 1859.

Current name: Sesleria vaginalis

Isolectotype :—[ Greece] In regioni superiori montis Malevo Laconiae (rare); alt. 6000’: 7 July 1857 / 19 July 1857, T. G . Orphanides 953 ( WU 0079487 ) .

Original material:—[ Greece] Legi in regione superiori montis Kyllenes supra Livadi (rare): 28 June 1851, T. G . Orphanides 2752 ( WU 0079581 ) .

Lectotype in G according to Di Pietro et al. (2017: 108), who designated a voucher by Orphanides in the herbarium G collected “In regione superiori montis Malevo [Parnon mt.], 6000 ped [cc 1850 m], 07–19 July 1857 ”. Even though not mentioned in the protologue (Boissier 1859), the corresponding voucher in G has a handwritten note by Boissier reading “ Sesleria vaginalis Boiss. et Orphan. nov. sp. ” and can thus be considered original material according to Art. 9.4 ( Turland et al. 2018). Furthermore, Di Pietro et al. (2017) argue that the second gathering by Orphanides (s. WU 0079581), which is in accordance with the locality given in the protologue, might represent a transitional form between S. vaginalis and S. krajinae Deyl (Opera Bot. Čech. 3: 145. 1946).
