Description

Lycopus virginicus Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 1: 21. 1753.

"Habitat in Virginia." RCN: 167.

Lectotype (Reveal in Jarvis & al. in Taxon 50: 512. 2001): Clayton 185 (BM-000038858).

Current name: Lycopus virginicus L. (Lamiaceae).

Note: Epling (in J. Bot. 67: 3. 1929) discussed the original elements for the name, and treated Clayton 185 (BM) as the "standard specimen" (not the same as the type). However, this does appear to be the obvious choice as type, and it has been designated as such by Reveal.
