Schoenus mariscus Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 1: 42. 1753.

"Habitat in Europae paludibus." RCN: 359.

Lectotype (Kukkonen in Cafferty & Jarvis in Taxon 53: 179. 2004): Herb. Linn. No. 68.1 (LINN) .

Current name: Cladium mariscus (L.) Pohl ( Cyperaceae).

Note: Stearn (in Biol. J. Linn. Soc. 5: 12. 1973), in an account of Linnaeus’ Öland and Gotland journey of 1741, treated Lummelund in Gotland as the restricted type locality. In his paper, he attributed restricted type localities irrespective of whether any material existed in LINN and, where specimens do exist, he does not refer to any of them as type specimens. None is mentioned in this case. The collection subsequently designated as the type shows no annotation associating it with Gotland.
