Hieracium auricula Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 2: 800. 1753.

"Habitat in Europae pratis aridis, juxta agros." RCN: 5854.

Type not designated.

Original material: Herb. Linn. No. 954.10? (LINN); Herb. Burser XV(1): 4? (UPS); Herb. Linn. No. 954.9? (LINN) .

Current name: Hieracium × floribundum Wimm. & Grab. ( Asteraceae).

Note: Sheets 954.9 and 954.10 (LINN) bear specimens belonging to more than one taxon, a situation which led Pugsley (in J. Linn. Soc., Bot. 54: 320. 1948) to reject the name as a nomen confusum. However, no formal proposal for rejection has been made.
