Carex arenariaLinnaeus, Species Plantarum2: 973. 1753.
"Habitat in Europae arena, praesertim mobili." RCN: 7060.
Lectotype(Egorova, Sedges Russia: 507. 1999): Herb. Linn. No. 1100.9 ( LINN).
Note:Stearn (in Biol. J. Linn. Soc.5: 10. 1973), in an account of Linnaeus' Oelandand Gotland journey of 1741, treated Grankull in Oelandas the restricted type locality, and noted the existence of 1100.9 (LINN). In his paper, he attributed restricted type localities irrespective of whether any material existed in LINN and, where specimens do exist, he does not refer to any of them as type specimens. This LINN material, formally designated as lectotypeby Egorova, is annotated as having come from Skane, rather than Oeland.
