Alopecurus geniculatus Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 1: 60. 1753.

"Habitat in Europae uliginosis." RCN: 516.

Lectotype (Cope in Cafferty & al. in Taxon 49: 245. 2000): Herb. Burser I: 26 (UPS) .

Current name: Alopecurus geniculatus L. ( Poaceae).

Note: Bor (in Rechinger, Fl. Iranica 70: 285. 1970) indicated a specimen at LINN as the type, as did Dogan (in Turkish J. Bot. 23: 250. 1999). However there is no relevant material at LINN eligible for typification and Cope designated Burser material as lectotype.
