Stipa juncea Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 1: 78. 1753.

"Habitat in Helvetia, Gallia." RCN: 656.

Lectotype ( Vázquez & al. in Anales Jard. Bot. Madrid 52: 179. 1995): Herb. Linn. No. 94.2 (LINN) .

Current name: Stipa juncea L. ( Poaceae).

Note: This name has often been treated as ambiguous (see discussion by Moraldo in Webbia 40: 227-228. 1986) and informally rejected in favour of e.g. S. offneri Breistr., S. capillata L., and S. celakovskyi Martinovský . See extensive discussion by the typifying authors who conclude that they prefer to typify the name in the sense of S. celakovskyi and to allow the Linnaean name to be applied in this sense.
