Note: Novikov (in Novosti Sist. Vyssh. Rast. 15: 90. 1985) treats unspecified material in LINN as the type but none of the specimens in LINN are original material for this name. Similarly, the specimen (449.19 LINN) indicated by Snogerup (in Strid & Kit Tan, Mountain Fl. Greece 2: 738. 1991) as a possible lectotype is unannotated by Linnaeus and is not original material.
