Bromus scoparius Linnaeus, Centuria I Plantarum: 6. 1755.

"Habitat in Hispania." RCN: 645.

Lectotype (Smith in Notes Roy. Bot. Gard. Edinburgh 42: 499. 1985): Löfling 81, Herb. Linn. No. 93.32 (LINN) .

Current name: Bromus scoparius L. ( Poaceae).

Note: Although Kerguélen (in Lejeunia, n.s., 75: 110. 1975) stated "Type: …LINN”, this is not accepted as a formal typification, for the reasons explained by Cafferty & al. (in Taxon 49: 240. 2000). Meikle (Fl. Cyprus 2: 1808. 23 Apr 1985) indicated unspecified material in LINN as type but did not distinguish between sheets 93.32 and 93.33 (which are not part of a single gathering so Art. 9.15 does not apply). Smith’s typification from later in 1985 therefore stands.
