Bromus ciliatus Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 1: 76. 1753.

"Habitat in Canada; ex semine. D. Kalm." RCN: 638.

Neotype (McNeill in Taxon 25: 613. 1976): U.S.A. New York: Essex Co. Huntingdon Wildlife Forest Station, Newcomb, sand pit E. of ranger station, 23 Jul 1939, Heady 768 (DAO; iso- US).

Current name: Bromus ciliatus L. ( Poaceae).

Note: Hitchcock (in Contr. U. S. Natl. Herb. 12: 122. 1908) stated that no type was extant. Baum (in Canad. J. Bot. 45: 1849. 1967) referred to a specimen at S, annotated by Linnaeus "H. U. 4 e semine Canadensi" (sheet 40.9), as the “holotype”, with sheet “93.10” at LINN (actually 93.12), annotated on the verso by Linnaeus with "e semine canaden.", an “isotype” . However, McNeill (in Taxon 25: 612-613. 1976) convincingly argued that Baum’s typification was unacceptable because the specimens (LINN 93.10, 93.12 & S 40.9) conflict with Linnaeus’ diagnosis and, in the absence of any relevant original material, he designated a neotype.
