Summary Nomenclatural problems of Luzula multiflora (Ehrh.) Lej. are dealt with. The epithet was published by Ehrhart (1790) as Juncus campestris var. multiflorus , and the species rank was used by him in 1794–1795. The name is based on Linnaean material and the lectotype has been selected from the Paris collection of the Flora lapponica plants. Taxonomically, the traditional use of the name has been retained. The name Luzula pallescens Sw. is based on the same original material as L. multiflora and is shown to be illegitimate. The taxon originally called L. pallescens is described as a new species, L. pallidula. An account of older specific names in the section Luzula is given. Juncus intermedius Thuill., J. congestus Thuill., J. nemorosus Host, Luzula chabertii Rouy, etc. are typified, and L. stenophylla Steudel, L. pseudo‐sudetica V. Krecz., and other names are discussed.
