Summary According to Art. 53 of the ICBN the name Stipa pennata L. which is given as an example to the rule in the Code, must be used for S. joannis Čelak.; it was Mansfeld (1939) who reintroduced this name. Some recent authors abandon Mansfeld's lectotypification and propose to eliminate the example of S. pennata L. from Art. 53. The present author shows that there is no reason to do so because the alteration of the diagnosis given by Steven (1857) cannot be considered an emendation and Mansfeld's lectotypification was not based upon a misinterpretation of the original description.
