Jacobsen, N, & Bothmer, R. von, 1995. Taxonomy in the Hordeum murinum complex (Poaceae). — Nord. J. Bot. 15: 449–458. Copenhagen. ISSN 0107–055X.
Hordeum murinum as circumscribed here comprises ssp. glaucum (2x), ssp. murinum (4x), and ssp. leporinum (4x, 6x). Previous taxonomical treatments are reviewed as well as the more recent approaches, viz. numerical and statistical analyses, investigations of isoenzymes, rDNA, cpDNA, meiotic analyses, and chromosome banding patterns. A formal nomenclatural treatment is presented.
