Cynosurus aureus
Linnaeus
,
Species Plantarum

: 73. 1753
.
"Habitat in Europa australi." RCN: 613.
Lectotype
(Meikle,
Fl. Cyprus
2: 1727. 1985; Scholz in Cafferty & al. in
Taxon
49: 249. 2000): Herb. Linn. No. 91.19 (
LINN
)
.
Current name:
Lamarckia aurea
(L.) Moench
(
Poaceae
).
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
Taxon
49: 240. 2000). Meikle (
Fl. Cyprus
2: 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's
choice is accepted as effective, and was restricted to sheet 91.19 by Scholz, in accordance with Art. 9.15.
