Phlomis lychnitis Linnaeus , Species Plantarum 2: 585. 1753.

"Habitat in Europa australi. D. Sauvages." RCN: 4271.

Lectotype (Alziar & Cafferty in Biocosme Mésogéen 14: 123. 1998): Herb. Burser XIII: 132 ( UPS) .

Current name: Phlomis lychnitis L. ( Lamiaceae ).

Note: Mateu (in Acta Bot. Malac. 11: 188. 1986) indicated 740.7 LINN, a Löfling collection from Spain, as the type. However, Alziar & Cafferty, citing doubts as to its date of receipt and the absence of any reference to Spain in the protologue, declined to accept it as original material and designated Burser material as the lectotype.
