Description

Clinopodium vulgare Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 2: 587. 1753.

"Habitat in rupestribus Europae, Canadae." RCN: 4284.

Lectotype (Hedge in Ali & Nasir, Fl. Pakistan 192: 240. 1990): Herb. Linn. No. 742.1 (LINN).

Generitype of Clinopodium Linnaeus (vide Green, Prop. Brit. Bot.: 165. 1929).

Current name: Clinopodium vulgare L. (Lamiaceae).

Note: Hedge’s type choice is a specimen grown from North American seed and it has been suggested that it may not belong to the typical infraspecific taxon. For this reason, López González (in Jarvis & al., Regnum Veg. 127: 35. 1993) designated Herb. Burser XII: 152 (UPS) as lectotype in its place. This publication was conceived as a possible "Names in Current Use" (NCU) List but, with the rejection of the NCU concept, Hedge’s choice clearly has priority, despite the possible difficulties.
