Typification of Dactylis ibizensis (Poaceae) and inference of the ploidy level of the type specimen

Dactylis ibizensis (Poaceae) is lectotypified based on a specimen at W. Anatomical and macromorphological data from karyologically verified individuals strongly support that the lectotype comprises exclusively diploid plants. This allows for preservation of the name in current use for the Balearic cocksfoot restricted to the islands of Formentera and Ibiza.
