Poa cilicensis Hance, Ann. Sci. Nat., Bot., sér. 4, 18: 234. 1862. Type protologue. In Tauro cilicio, Kotschy 529. Type. In monte Tauro, aestate 1836, Kotschy 529, this from hb. H.F. Hance [via Reed 1887] no. 7498 (lectotype, here designated: BM! [BM000551484, right hand plant (2 left hand specimens are Poa diaphora var. songarica and are clearly excluded from Hance’s description written on the sheet)]; isolectotype: P! [P02642319]).

Glyceria taurica Steud., Syn. Pl. Glumac. 1: 286. 1854 (non Poa taurica E. Pojarkova, 1965, Poa x taurica H.N. Pojark., 1963). Type protologue. In monte Tauro, 1836, Kotschy (Kotschy hrbr.). Type. In monte Tauro, Aestate,1836, Kotschy 529 (lectotype, here designated: P! [P02642319]; isolectotype: BM [BM000551484 image!]).

Distribution.

Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Egypt (north coast, possibly adventive), Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Pakistan, Syria, Turkey; waif in France (introduced in wool, Marseille, H. Roux, P06768417!, P03370109!; RJS determination, 2015) and Norway (Greuter et al. 1984+).

Notes.

Although Kotschy’s herbarium is mainly at W, a search of the W herbarium website did not turn up Kotschy 529 except as the genus Arenaria from Tauro cilicio or a Scrophularia from Persia. Kotschy 528 at W is a Poa of the P. bulbosa complex from "In monte Tauro" in 1836. Presumably the earlier 1836 set was broken up and 529 ended up at BM and P. The anthers in the G. taurica lectotype are 1.8 mm long and the lemmas are pubescent along the keel and marginal veins.
