Jarvis, Charlie, 2007, Chapter 7: Linnaean Plant Names and their Types (part G), Order out of Chaos. Linnaean Plant Types and their Types, London: Linnaean Society of London in association with the Natural History Museum, pp. 529-556 : 529

Galeopsis hirsuta Linnaeus , Species Plantarum 2: 580. 1753.

"Habitat in Hispania." RCN: 4244.

Replaced synonym of: Sideritis ocymastrum L. (1759) ; Stachys hirta L. (1763) , nom. illeg.

Lectotype (Turland in Jarvis & al. in Taxon 50: 511. 2001): Herb. Linn. No. 736.16 ( LINN) .

Current name: Stachys ocymastrum (L.) Briq. ( Lamiaceae ).

Note: Galeopsis hirsuta was transferred to Sideritis in 1759 (as S. ocymastrum L. because of the existence of Sideritis hirsuta L. (1753)) , and then appeared as Stachys hirta L. in 1763. The use of “hirta” may originally have been an error for “hirsuta” (as G. hirsuta is included in its synonymy), but as Linnaeus continued to use “hirta” in later works (Syst. Nat., ed. 12, 2: 395. 1767; Syst. Nat., ed. 13: 447. 1774), Stachys hirta is treated as illegitimate.
