Jarvis, Charlie, 2007, Chapter 7: Linnaean Plant Names and their Types (part H), Order out of Chaos. Linnaean Plant Types and their Types, London: Linnaean Society of London in association with the Natural History Museum, pp. 557-585 : 568

Herniaria fruticosa Linnaeus , Centuria I Plantarum: 8. 1755.

"Habitat in Hispania." RCN: 1796.

Lectotype (Chaudhri in Cafferty & Jarvis in Taxon 53: 1052. 2004): Löfling 186a, Herb. Linn. No. 312.4 ( LINN) .

Current name: Herniaria fruticosa L. ( Caryophyllaceae ).

Note: Chaudhri (in Meded. Bot. Mus. Herb. Rijks Univ. Utrecht 285: 386. 1968) stated "Type: Spain: Herb. Linnaeus 312/3-4 (LINN)". This did not distinguish between the two cited sheets, the material of which does not appear to be part of a single gathering (so Art. 9.15 does not apply). Chaudhri subsequently designated a Löfling collection as the lectotype.
