Scilla bifolia Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 1: 309. 1753.

"Habitat in Gallia, Germania." RCN: 2432.

Lectotype (van Raamsdonk in Wisskirchen in Feddes Repert. 108: 106. 1997): Herb. Burser III: 23 (UPS) .

Generitype of Scilla Linnaeus (vide Hitchcock, Prop. Brit. Bot.: 146. 1929).

Current name: Scilla bifolia L. ( Liliaceae / Hyacinthaceae).

Note: Speta (in Naturk. Jahrb. Stadt Linz 25: 41. 1980) designated 429.5 (LINN) as the type. However, this sheet came from Hasselquist, from the "Middle East" conflicting with Linnaeus’ "Hab. in Gallia, Germania". Van Raamsdonk therefore rejected this choice in favour of the Burser sheet, formalising the suggestion made by Andersson (in Strid & Kit Tan, Mountain Fl. Greece 2: 694. 1991).
