Juncus bufonius Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 1: 328. 1753.

"Habitat in Europae inundatis." RCN: 2539.

Lectotype (Cope & Stace in Watsonia 12: 121. 1978): Herb. A. van Royen No. 904.145-433 (L) .

Current name: Juncus bufonius L. ( Juncaceae).

Note: Although Carter (in Milne-Redhead & Polhill, Fl. Trop. E. Africa, Juncaceae: 2 1966), and some later authors, indicated unspecified material in LINN as type, they did not distinguish between several specimens there associated with the name. As these specimens are evidently not part of a single gathering, Art. 9.15 does not apply.
