Gerardia pedicularia Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 2: 611. 1753.

"Habitat in Virginia, Canada." RCN: 4417.

Lectotype (designated here by Sutton): Kalm, Herb. Linn. No. 764.7 (LINN) .

Current name: Aureolaria pedicularia (L.) Raf. ( Scrophulariaceae).

Note: Reveal & al. (in Huntia 7: 220. 1987) reported that Pennell (in Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadelphia Monogr. 1: 399. 1935) had selected a Kalm specimen (764.7 LINN) as lectotype but this is incorrect; he did not. This collection is, however, original material for the name.
