Abstract
In the absence of original herbarium specimens, illustrations are
selected as lectotype for two names in the Bolboschoenus
maritimus group, Scirpus compactus and Scirpus
maritimus var. cymosus. To the ambiguous lectotype for
Scirpus compactus an epitype is added, which fixes the name
as a synonym of Bolboschoenus maritimus. The lectotype for
Scirpus maritimus var. cymosus belongs to Bolboschoenus
laticarpus. The holotype of Scirpus macrostachys is
ambiguous and an epitype is chosen which supports its synonymy with
Bolboschoenus glaucus. The taxonomic significance of the
macrostachyate morphotype is discussed.
Key words:
taxonomy, lectotype, epitype, Scirpus, macrostachyate morphotype.
