Notes.

Original material is conserved in the Clifford Herbarium at the Natural History Museum of London and an image of the lectotype is available at http://data.nhm.ac.uk/dataset/clifford-herbarium.

(2) Maire (1924) described Verbascum lychnitis var. giganteum on the basis of plant material that he had collected himself in the Azrou cedar forest, Central Middle Atlas, Morocco. However, in the protologue, he did not identify any herbarium sheet as holotype, nor did he give the name of the herbarium where the original material was stored. Six specimens were located through our research at Herbrs RAB (RAB30546), MPU (MPU006910, MPU006911, MPU006912, MPU006913), and P (P00083084) which can be considered original material. The sheet RAB30546 preserved at Herb. RAB is selected here as the lectotype for the name V. lychnitis var. giganteum since it is in a better condition.
