Hieracium sprengerianum Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 2: 804. 1753.

"Habitat in Lusitania." RCN: 5874.

Lectotype (Alavi in Jafri & El-Gadi, Fl. Libya 107: 359. 1983): Herb. Linn. No. 954.44 (LINN) .

Current name: Hieracium sp. ( Asteraceae).

Note: Greuter (in Willdenowia 33: 235. 2003) notes that Schultz Bipontinus annotated the type material as identifiable as H. virosum Pall, and that if, as he suspects, closer scrutiny confirmed this, H. sprengerianum, unless it is formally rejected, threatens to displace H. virosum, a well-known name of a widespread Asian and SE European species.
