Bartsia pallida Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 2: 602. 1753.

"Habitat in Sibiria. D. Gmelin. Demidoff." RCN: 4369.

Type not designated.

Original material: Herb. Linn. No. 756.2 (LINN) .

Current name: Castilleja pallida (L.) Spreng. ( Scrophulariaceae).

Note: See discussion by Pennell (in Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadelphia 86: 522. 1935) on the descriptions of Gmelin and Steller collections. He concluded that the typical form should apply to the former but did not associate the name with material in LINN (where he appeared to believe, incorrectly, that both collections existed).
