Euphorbia stricta Linnaeus, Systema Naturae, ed. 10, 2: 1048. 1759.

RCN: 3542.

Lectotype (Radcliffe-Smith in Davis, Fl. Turkey 7: 593. 1982): Herb. Linn. No. 630.54 (LINN) .

Current name: Euphorbia stricta L. ( Euphorbiaceae).

Note: Dandy (in Watsonia 7: 157-178. 1969) treated this as a superfluous name for E. verrucosa L. (1753), but Riedl (in Taxon 19: 798. 1970) disagreed, noting that both names appeared in the 1759 account of the genus.
