Poa rigidaLinnaeus, Flora Anglica: 10. 1754.
"Habitat [in Anglia.]" RCN: 582.
Lectotype(Stace in Cafferty & al. in Taxon49: 256. 2000): [icon] " Gramen panicula multiplici" in Bauhin, Prodr. Theatri Bot.: 6. 1620.
Note:Stace & Jarvis (in Bot. J. Linn. Soc. 91: 439. 1985) designated 87.37 (LINN) as lectotype, but they treated the name as if first described in Centuria I Plantarum(1755: 5), when in fact it first appeared in Flora Anglica(1754: 10) where it is validated solely by a reference to a work by Ray. Under Art. 7.7, the name must therefore be typified in the context of Ray, and so the material in Linnaeus'herbarium is ineligible.
