Globularia vulgaris Linnaeus , Species Plantarum 1: 96. 1753 .

"Habitat in Europae apricis duris." RCN: 788.

Lectotype (Milletti & Jarvis in Taxon 36: 637. 1987): Herb. Linn. No. 117.2 ( LINN) .

Generitype of Globularia Linnaeus (vide Hitchcock, Prop. Brit. Bot.: 123. 1929).

Current name: Globularia vulgaris L. ( Globulariaceae ).

Note: Stearn (in Biol. J. Linn. Soc. 5: 11. 1973), in an account of Linnaeus’ Öland and Gotland journey of 1741, treated Resmo in Öland as the restricted type locality, and noted the existence of 117.2 (LINN) (as “116.2”). In his paper, he attributed restricted type localities irrespective of whether any material existed in LINN and, where specimens do exist, he does not refer to any of them as type specimens. The collection subsequently designated as the type shows no annotation associating it with Öland.
