Lectotype
(Meikle,
Fl. Cyprus
2: 1742. 1985; Soreng in Cafferty & al. in
Taxon
49: 255. 2000): Herb. Linn. No. 87.57 (
LINN
)
.
Current name:
Poa bulbosa
L.
(
Poaceae
).
Note:
Although
Kerguelen
(in
Lejeunia
, n.s., 75: 237. 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: 1742. 1985) and later authors indicated material at LINN as type, but did not distinguish between three possible sheets. However, as all of these (sheets 87.57, 87.58 and 87.59) came from Hasselquist, they probably constitute a single gathering in the sense of Art. 9.15. This choice was subsequently restricted to one of the sheets by Soreng.
