Bromus hordeaceus Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 1: 77. 1753.

"Habitat in Europae collibus aridissimis sabulosis." RCN: 632.

Basionym of: Bromus secalinus L. var. hrdeaceus (L.) L. (1755) .

Lectotype (Smith in Cafferty & al. in Taxon 49: 248. 2000): [icon] "Gramen Avenaceum pratense gluma breviore squamosa et villosa" in Morison, Pl. Hist. Univ. 3: 213, s. 8, t. 7, f. 18. 1699. - Epitype (Smith in Cafferty & al. in Taxon 49: 248. 2000): Herb. Linn. No. 93.7 (LINN) .

Current name: Bromus hordeaceus L. ( Poaceae).

Note: Lambinon (in Taxon 30: 362. 1981) proposed the name for rejection but the Committee for Spermatophyta (in Taxon 35: 558. 1986) declined to accept the proposal. Smith (in Notes Roy. Bot. Gard. Edinburgh 42: 498. 1985) designated 93.7 (LINN) as a neotype but, in the presence of original material (in this case, an illustration), this choice is contrary to Art. 9.17a of the Vienna Code, and so was subsequently superseded by Smith in 2000.
