Dactylis lagopoides Linnaeus, Systema Naturae, ed. 12, 2: 95; Mantissa Plantarum: 33. 1767.

"Habitat in India. Burmannus." RCN: 603.

Lectotype (Renvoize in Cafferty & al. in Taxon 49: 250. 2000): J. Burman s.n., Herb. Linn. No. 90.5 (LINN), see p. 196.

Current name: Aeluropus lagopoides (L.) Trin. ex Thwaites ( Poaceae).

Note: Bor (in Rechinger, Fl. Iranica 70: 419. 1970) indicated a Burman specimen at L as type, but no relevant material has been traced there. Meikle (Fl. Cyprus 2: 1846. 1985) and Sherif & Siddiqi (in Jafri & El-Gadi, Fl. Libya 145: 233. 1988) indicated material at LINN as type, but as they did not distinguish between three possible sheets at LINN, which are not part of a single gathering (Art. 9.15), no effective choice of type was made.
