Summary Smith, S. G. & Kukkonen, I.: A new lectotype for Scirpus maritimus (Cyperaceae). – Taxon 48: 355‐357. 1999. – ISSN 0040‐0262. The formerly designated lectotype of Scirpus maritimus L. is shown to be in conflict with the protologue. If maintained, it would cause unnecessary and disturbing name changes. It is therefore superseded by a Linnaean specimen newly discovered in Uppsala, which in turn is supported by a modern, fruiting specimen designated as epitype.
