Description

Forsskaolea tenacissima Linnaeus, Opobalsamum Declaratum: 18. 1764.

"Habitat in Arabia." RCN: 3416.

Lectotype (Friis & Wilmot-Dear in Jarvis & al., Regnum Veg. 127: 47. 1993): Herb. Linn. No. 389.7 (S).

Generitype of Forsskaolea Linnaeus.

Current name: Forsskaolea tenacissima L. (Urticaceae).

Note: Bhopal & Chaudhri (in Pakistan Syst. 1(2): 53. 1977) indicated unspecified material in LINN as the holotype, but the only material there associated with this name (605.1, 605.2) is annotated by J.E. Smith alone and is not original material for the name. Friis & Wilmot-Dear (in Nordic J. Bot. 8: 35. 1988) noted that material in S would be a suitable lectotype but formalised this choice only in 1993.
