Abstract
The grass commonly called “meadow fescue” is known in the United States asFestuca elatior L. and in Europe asF. pratensis Hudson. Study of the literature and type specimen shows that the nameF. elatior L. is ambiguous and confused. The earliest correctly applied name isF. pratensis Hudson, hence it should be universally adopted.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
