Lectotype(Meikle, Fl. Cyprus2: 1727. 1985; Scholz in Cafferty & al. in Taxon49: 249. 2000): Herb. Linn. No. 91.19 ( LINN).
Note:Although Kerguelen(in Lejeunia, n.s., 75: 204. 1975) stated "Type: ...LINN", this is not accepted as a formal typification, for the reasons explained by Cafferty & al. (in Taxon49: 240. 2000). Meikle ( Fl. Cyprus2: 1727. 1985) indicated unspecified type material at LINN but did not distinguish between two possible sheets there (91.19 and 91.20). It is difficult to be certain that these did not form part of a single collection, so Meikle'schoice is accepted as effective, and was restricted to sheet 91.19 by Scholz, in accordance with Art. 9.15.
