Juncus filiformis Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 1: 326. 1753.

"Habitat in Europae uliginoso-paludosis turfosis." RCN: 2533.

Lectotype ( Hämet-Ahti in Kirschner & al., Sp. Pl. - Fl. World 8: 107. 2002): Herb. Linn. No. 449.9 (LINN) .

Current name: Juncus filiformis L. ( Juncaceae).

Note: Novikov (in Novosti Sist. Vyssh. Rast. 15: 86. 1985) treated unspecified material in LINN as the type. However, this does not distinguish between sheets 449.9, 449.10 and 449.11 and as they are evidently not part of a single gathering, Art. 9.15 does not apply.
