Lectotype (Wasshausen in Jansen-Jacobs, Fl. Guianas, ser. A, 23: 20. 2006): [icon] " Prunella elatior flore albo" in Sloane, Voy. Jamaica 1: 173, t. 109, f. 1. 1707. - Voucher: Herb. Sloane 3: 56 (BM-SL).

Note: Daniel (in Proc. Calif. Acad. Sci. 48: 255. 1995) discussed the typification of this name, concluding that only one or the other of the cited Sloane and Plumier illustrations would be a logical choice as lectotype.
