Pinguicula vulgaris Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 1: 17. 1753.

"Habitat in Europae uliginosis." RCN: 141.

Lectotype (Casper in Biblioth. Bot. 127/128: 171. 1966): Herb. Linn. No. 33.1 (LINN) .

Generitype of Pinguicula Linnaeus (vide Hitchcock, Prop. Brit. Bot.: 116. 1929).

Current name: Pinguicula vulgaris L. ( Lentibulariaceae).

Note: Although Casper (in Biblioth. Bot. 127/128: 171. 1966), in indicating 33.1 (LINN) as the holotype, cited the sheet as if it was at K, his explicit use of the sheet number makes his intention clear and his choice is accepted here. Cheek (in Jarvis & al., Regnum Veg. 127: 76. 1993) independently made the same type choice.
