Hieracium sprengerianum
Linnaeus
,
Species Plantarum
2
: 804. 1753
.
"Habitat in Lusitania." RCN: 5874.
Lectotype
(Alavi in Jafri & El-Gadi,
Fl. Libya
107: 359. 1983): Herb. Linn. No. 954.44 (
LINN
)
.
Current name:
Hieracium
sp.
(
Asteraceae
).
Note:
Greuter (in
Willdenowia
33: 235. 2003) notes that Schultz Bipontinus annotated the type material as identifiable as
H. virosum
Pall
, and that if, as he suspects, closer scrutiny confirmed this,
H. sprengerianum
, unless it is formally rejected, threatens to displace
H. virosum
, a well-known name of a widespread Asian and SE European species.
