Cerastium dichotomum Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 1: 438. 1753.

"Habitat inter segetes Hispaniae." RCN: 3401.

Lectotype (Ghazanfar & Nasir in Nasir & Ali, Fl. Pakistan 175: 37. 1986): Herb. Linn. No. 603.11 (LINN) .

Current name: Cerastium dichotomum L. ( Caryophyllaceae).

Note: Möschl (in Mem. Soc. Brot. 17: 51. 1964) indicated unspecified material in LINN as type but did not distinguish between sheets 603.11 and 603.13, which were evidently not part of a single gathering so Art. 9.15 does not apply. Ghafoor (in Jafri & Ali, Fl. Libya 59: 40. 1978) wrongly indicated 603.1 (LINN), which is not original material, as type.
