| Luzula kjellmaniana Miyabe & Kudô | |
| Publ. & Syn. | Luzula arctica Blytt, Norges Fl. 1: 299 (1861). Lectotype (UPS!): Norway: "Norveg. centr. Dovre" [i.e., Sør-Trøndelag: Oppdal, Mount Knutshø], leg. M.N. Blytt in E. Fries, Herb. Norm. fasc. 10: 65 (Kirschner in Kirschner et al. 2002a: 90). |
| Notes | Egorova et al.: Miyabe and Kudô based their description of Luzula kjellmaniana on Kjellman's L. arcuata f. latifolia. The type of f. latifolia is therefore the type of L. kjellmaniana (and of L. beeringiana), i.e., the lectotype cited above. We agree that the types of L. kjellmaniana and L. tundricola V.N. Vassil. 1953 belong to the same species. The latter name, applied by several authors, is then a synonym of L. kjellmaniana as stated already by Hämet-Ahti and Virrankoski (1971). The Russian usage of the name L. kjellmaniana - for a taxon of the L. multiflora group - is erroneous. |
