Notes.

Jordon (1855) cited the following five collections: the Jura sur le Reculet (Ain), and Mont Ventoux, in August 1841, A. Jordan; Mt. St-Nizier near Grenoble, Verlot; Bex (canton of Vaud), E. Thomas; Mt. St-Nizier near Grenoble, Clement. Also cited is a report of Reuter of his collection from Jura sur le Reculet [P-03161256, image!], and Agrostis filiformis sensu Vill. We select The Verlot 1584 specimen as there are several duplicates, and P-03161255 as the lectotype because that sheet is not mounted with any other collection as the MPU and BM sheets seem to be.
