Description
Elymus virginicus Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 1: 84. 1753.
"Habitat in Virginia." RCN: 700.
Lectotype (Hitchcock in Contr. U. S. Natl. Herb. 12: 124. 1908): Herb. Linn. No. 100.5 (LINN; iso- US, fragm.).
Current name: Elymus virginicus L. (Poaceae).
Note: The lectotype designated by Hitchcock (in Contr. U.S. Natl. Herb. Wash. 12: 124. 1908), 100.5 (LINN), does not belong to E. virginicus L. var. virginicus as currently understood, and Campbell (in Taxon 45: 128. 1996) therefore proposed the name for conservation with a conserved type. The proposal was eventually declined by the Committee for Spermatophyta (in Taxon 54: 1094. 2005) but Campbell (in Sida 22: 493. 2006) has indicated a desire to revisit the question.
