"Habitat in Palaestina." RCN: 3491. Neotype (Abdallah & de Wit in Meded. Landbouwhoogeschool 78-14: 245. 1978): Herb. Linn. No. 629.26 ( LINN ) . Current name: Reseda lutea L. ( Resedaceae ). Note: Abdallah & de Wit reviewed the usage of R. mediterranea , concluding that it is synonymous with R. lutea L. (1753) . Although 629.25 (LINN) is annotated with "mediterranea" , they apparently concluded that it was not original material for the name (presumably because, as a species of Caylusia , it conflicts with Linnaeus' very detailed description), and designated a neotype .
