"Habitat in Creta." RCN: 1128.

Lectotype (Fernandes in Bol. Soc. Brot., sér. 2, 43: 152. 1969): Herb. Linn. No. 191.21 ( LINN) .

Current name: Echium creticum L. View in CoL ( Boraginaceae ).

Note: Lacaita (in J. Linn. Soc., Bot. 44: 401. 1919) and Klotz (in Wiss. Z. Martin-Luther-Univ., Halle-Wittenberg, Math.-Naturwiss. Reihe 11: 293. 1962) argued that the name should be rejected as a nomen confusum, but Fernandes (l.c.) has formally typified the name (see extensive discussion and a photograph (pl. 1) of the type). It has been taken up in the sense of E. australe Lam.
