Lythrum fruticosum Linnaeus, Systema Naturae, ed. 10, 2: 1045. 1759.

["Habitat in China."] Sp. Pl., ed. 2, 1: 641 (1763). RCN: 3468.

Lectotype (Dar in Nasir & Ali, Fl. W. Pakistan 78: 6. 1975): Herb. Linn. No. 626.4 (LINN) .

Current name: Woodfordia fruticosa (L.) Kurz ( Lythraceae).

Note: Dar gave the number of the type sheet as “62/4” (LINN), clearly a typographic error for 626.4, and accepted as such by authors such as Graham (in Syst. Bot. 20: 496, 498, 1995), and here.
