Sideritis hirsuta Linnaeus , Species Plantarum 2: 575. 1753.

"Habitat in G. Narbonensi." RCN: 4196.

Lectotype (Rivera Nuñez & Obón de Castro in Jarvis & al., Regnum Veg. 127: 88. 1993): Herb. Linn. No. 729.15 ( LINN) .

Current name: Sideritis hirsuta L. ( Lamiaceae ).

Note: Sideritis hirsuta was treated as the generitype by Britton & Brown (Ill. Fl. N. U. S., ed. 2, 3: 111. 1913; see McNeill & al. in Taxon 36: 385. 1987). However, under Art. 10.5, Ex. 7 (a voted example) of the Vienna Code, this is a type choice made under the American Code and is to be replaced under Art. 10.5b by Green’s choice (Prop. Brit. Bot.: 164. 1929) of S. hyssopifolia L.

A discussion of the type elements was provided by Rivera Nuñez & al. (in Bot. J. Linn. Soc. 103: 336. 1990).
