Cistus oelandicus Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 1: 526. 1753.

"Habitat in rupibus apricis Oelandiae." RCN: 3906.

Lectotype ( López González in Anales Jard. Bot. Madrid 50: 51. 1992): Herb. Linn. No. 689.40 (LINN) , see p. 172.

Current name: Helianthemum oelandicum (L.) DC. ( Cistaceae).

Note: Stearn (in Biol. J. Linn. Soc. 5: 10. 1973), in an account of Linnaeus’ Öland and Gotland journey of 1741, treated Resmo in Öland as the restricted type locality, and noted the existence of 689.40 (LINN), annotated by Linnaeus as from Öland . In his paper, he attributed restricted type localities irrespective of whether any material existed in LINN and, where specimens do exist, he does not refer to any of them as type specimens. This LINN material was formally designated as lectotype by López González .
