Rubia cordifolia Linnaeus View in CoL , Systema Naturae, ed. 12, 3: 229. 1768.

"Habitat in Maiorca. Gerard." RCN: 894.

Type not designated.

Original material: Herb. Linn. No. 131.7 ( LINN) .

Current name: Rubia cordifolia L. View in CoL ( Rubiaceae ).

Note: There have been difficulties in interpreting this name, partly because Linnaeus originally described it as coming from Majorca, and later (in Mant. Pl. Alt.: 197. 1771) modified this to "Sibiria, China") - see Hara & Kurosawa (in Sci. Rep. Tôhoku Univ., Ser. 4, Biol. 29: 258. 1963) and Verdcourt (in Kew Bull. 30: 322. 1975). Although Ehrendorfer & Schönbeck-Temesy (in Rechinger, Fl. Iranica 176: 52. 2005) indicated 131.7 (LINN) as type, they did not state "designated here" or an equivalent as required by Art. 7.11.
