content: Stipa occidentalis Thurb. ex S. Watson is based on two syntypes, Bolander 5038 and Watson 1296. Merrill & Burtt Davy (1902) explicitly designated Watson 1296 as the type of the species when they based their new taxon Stipa occidentalis var. sparsiflora on the other syntype, Bolander 5038. Hitchcock (1925) discussed and rejected this type designation, designating Bolander 5038 as the type of the species (which would make var. sparsiflora the typical variety, and thus a superfluous name for var. occidentalis).
