Peucedanum officinale Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 1: 245. 1753.

"Habitat in Europae australioris pratis pinguibus." RCN: 1973.

Lectotype (Frey in Candollea 44: 271. 1989): Herb. Linn. No. 346.1 (LINN) . - Epitype (Reduron & Jacquemoud in Jarvis & al. in Taxon 55: 213. 2006): France. Grammont près de Montpellier, Sep 1846, legit Aug. de St Hilaire s.n., Herb. Planchon ex Herb. Alioth (G).

Generitype of Peucedanum Linnaeus (vide Hitchcock, Prop. Brit. Bot.: 139. 1929).

Current name: Peucedanum officinale L. ( Apiaceae).

Note: Reduron & Jarvis (in Jarvis & al., Regnum Veg. 127: 75. 1993) designated Herb. Clifford: 93, Peucedanum No. 1β, fol. 2 (BM) as the lectotype. However, their choice is pre-dated by that of Frey, who designated a sterile specimen in LINN as type. Reduron & Jacquemoud subsequently designated an epitype to allow the name to be applied precisely.
