Lamium galeobdolon
Linnaeus
,
Amoenitates Academicae
4
: 485. 1759
,
nom. inval.
Type not relevant.
Current name:
Lamiastrum galeobdolon
(L.) Ehrend. & Polatschek
(
Lamiaceae
).
Note:
As noted by Stearn (in Geck & Pressler,
Festschr. Claus Nissen
: 631. 1974),
Lamium galeobdolon
is a typographical error, the generic name
Galeopsis
having been misplaced, with the result that
Galeopsis galeobdolon
L. (1753)
appeared as
Lamium galeobdolon
.
The latter name did not appear in
Sp. Pl.
, ed. 2 (1763), nor in later Linnaean works.
Lamium galeobdolon
is therefore not a validly published Linnaean name.
