Bromus tectorum Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 1: 77. 1753.

"Habitat in Europae collibus siccis et tectis terrestribus." RCN: 642.

Lectotype (Smith in Notes Roy. Bot. Gard. Edinburgh 42: 500. 1985): Herb. Linn. No. 93.23 (LINN) .

Current name: Bromus tectorum L. ( Poaceae).

Note: Although Kerguélen (in Lejeunia, n.s., 75: 111. 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: 1811. 23 Apr 1985) indicated unspecified material in LINN as type but did not distinguish between sheets 93.23 and 93.25 (which are not part of a single gathering so Art. 9.15 does not apply).
