Pedicularis palustris Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 2: 607. 1753.

"Habitat in Europae septentrionalis paludibus." RCN: 4397.

Lectotype (Fischer in Feddes Repert. 108: 113. 1997): Herb. Linn. No. 763.1 (LINN) .

Generitype of Pedicularis Linnaeus (vide Green, Prop. Brit. Bot.: 167. 1929).

Current name: Pedicularis palustris L. ( Scrophulariaceae).

Note: Pedicularis sylvatica was treated as the generitype by Britton & Brown (Ill. Fl. N. U. S., ed. 2, 3: 220. 1913; see McNeill & al. in Taxon 36: 380. 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.: 167. 1929) of P. palustris L.
