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

"Habitat in Europa australi." RCN: 607.

Lectotype (Stace & Jarvis in Bot. J. Linn. Soc. 91: 438. 1985): [icon] " Gramen arvense, Polypodii panicula crassiore" in Barrelier, Pl. Galliam: 111, t. 50. 1714.

Current name: Sclerochloa dura (L.) P. Beauv. ( Poaceae).

Note: Although Kerguélen (in Lejeunia, n.s., 75: 253. 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: 1740. 1985) indicated unspecified material in LINN as type but did not distinguish between sheets 91.5 and 91.6 (which are not part of a single gathering so Art. 9.15 does not apply).
