Juncus squarrosus Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 1: 327. 1753.

"Habitat in Europae borealis sespitosis." RCN: 2535.

Lectotype (designated here by Kirschner): Herb. Linn. No. 449.14 (LINN) .

Current name: Juncus squarrosus L. ( Juncaceae).

Note: See Kirschner & al. (in Sp. Pl. - Fl. World 8: 9. 2002), who stated that 449.14 (LINN) is "recommendable as the lectotype " but, post-dating 2001, omitted the phrase "designated here" or an equivalent (Art. 7.11) which means that the choice is not effective. This is rectified here.
