Betonica alopecuros
Linnaeus
,
Species Plantarum
2
: 573. 1753
.
"Habitat in montibus Sabaudicis, Austriae superioris, Lessanensibus, Italicis, Galloprovinciae." RCN: 4230.
Lectotype
(Hedge in Jarvis & al. in
Taxon
50: 510. 2001): Herb. Burser XIII: 119 (
UPS
)
.
Current name:
Stachys alopecuros
(L.) Benth.
(
Lamiaceae
).
Note:
In the protologue, Linnaeus cited "Burs. XIII: 119", an explicit reference to material in the herbarium of Joachim Burser (UPS), making it the only
syntype
and Art. 9.10 states that if syntypes exist, a
lectotype
must be chosen from among them. Hedge therefore designated this material "In montibus GalloProvinciae" as the
lectotype
. Hedge noted that the type material belongs to the western European form sometimes recognised as
subsp.
godronii
(Rouy) Merxm.
