Arenaria saxatilis Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 1: 424. 1753.

"Habitat in Germania, Helvetia, Gallia, Sibiria." RCN: 3297.

Lectotype (Lazkov in Cafferty & Jarvis in Taxon 53: 1051. 2004): Steller, Herb. Linn. No. 585.29 (LINN).

Current name: Arenaria saxatilis L. (Caryophyllaceae).

Note: Although Ikonnikov (in Novosti Sist. Vyssh. Rast. 9: 155-156. 1972) indicated that the type should be material from Linnaeus’ herbarium marked as being from the Kamchatka peninsula, he did not formally choose a type. However, his suggestion was later formalised by Lazkov.
