Note:
Ajuga reptans L.

Ill. Fl. N. U. S.
, ed. 2, 3: 101. 1913 (see McNeill & al. in
Taxon
36: 358. 1987). However, under Art. 10.5, Ex. 7 (a voted example) of the Vienna Code, this is a type choice made under the American Code and is to be replaced under Art. 10.5b by
Green's
choice (
Prop. Brit. Bot.
: 164. 1929) of
A. pyramidalis
.
