Cynosurus caeruleus Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 1: 72. 1753.

"Habitat in Europae pascuis uliginosis." RCN: 608.

Lectotype (Rauschert in Feddes Repert. 79: 412. 1969): [icon] " Gramen glumis variis" in Bauhin, Prodr. Theatri Bot.: 21. 1620. - Epitype (Foggi & al. in Taxon 50: 1103. 2002): Herb. Bauhin " Gramen glumis variis. Monspel." (BAS) .

Current name: Sesleria caerulea (L.) Ard. ( Poaceae).

Note: See Foggi & al. (in Taxon 50: 1101. 2002) for a review of the application of this name. Their acceptance of Rauschert’s choice of lectotype (and their own epitypification) fixes the application of the name to the plant of dry grasslands (also known as S. varia (Jacq.) Wettst. or S. albicans Kit. ex Schult.), leaving S. uliginosa Opiz as the correct name for the plant of wet places.
