Phleum pratense Linnaeus , Species Plantarum 1: 59. 1753 View Cited Treatment .

"Habitat in Europae versuris & pratis." RCN: 508.

Lectotype (Humphries in Jarvis & al., Regnum Veg. 127: 75. 1993): Herb. Linn. No. 26 ( LAPP) .

Generitype of Phleum Linnaeus (vide Hitchcock, Prop. Brit. Bot.: 119. 1929).

Current name: Phleum pratense L. ( Poaceae ).

Note: Although Kerguélen (in Lejeunia, n.s., 75: 232. 1975) stated "Type: …LINN”, this is not accepted as a formal typification, for the reasons explained by Cafferty & al. (in Taxon 49: 240. 2000). Doğan (in Karaca Arbor. Mag. 1: 56. 1991) indicated 81.1 (LINN) as the type, but this sheet lacks the Species Plantarum number (i.e. “1”) and is a post-1753 addition to the collection. It is not original material for the name and Humphries’ later choice is accepted here.
