Summary Kirschner, J. & Kaplan, Z.: Taxonomic and nomenclatural notes on Luzula and Juncus ( Juncaceae ). ‐ Taxon 50: 1107–1113. 2001. – ISSN 0040–0262. New taxa and combinations are presented to be included in the prepared treatment of Juncaceae in the Flora of the World. A new section, Luzula sect. Atlanticae , and a new species, Luzula indica , are described, and three new combinations are made: Luzula nipponica (Satake) Kirschner & Miyamoto, L. lutescens (Koidzumi) Kirschner & Miyamoto, and Luzula alpino‐pilosa subsp. deflexa (Kozuharov) Kirschner. A new name, Juncus meianthus K. Wilson is proposed for a later homonym, J. gracilis R. Br. The name Luzula acuminata Raf. is neotypified in order to retain its current usage.
