Allium scorodoprasum Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 1: 297. 1753.

"Habitat in Oelandia, Dania, Pannonia." RCN: 2355.

Lectotype (de Wilde-Duyfjes in Taxon 22: 83. 1973): Herb. Linn. No. 419.12, left specimen (LINN) .

Current name: Allium scorodoprasum L. ( Liliaceae / Alliaceae).

Note: Stearn (in Biol. J. Linn. Soc. 5: 9. Mar 1973), in an account of Linnaeus’ Öland and Gotland journey of 1741, treats Öland as the restricted type locality, and noted the existence of 419.12 (LINN). In this paper, he attributed restricted type localities irrespective of whether any material existed in LINN and, where specimens do exist, he does not refer to any of them as type specimens. The collection previously designated as the type by de Wilde-Duyfjes (28 Feb 1973) shows no annotation expressly associating it with Öland . Lee (in Bull. Korea Pl. Res. 1: 2. 2000) illustrated the type (as plate 1A). Stearn (in Herbertia 11: 17, f. 118, right. 1944) had earlier reproduced the cited Clusius plate.
