Scutellaria lateriflora Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 2: 598. 1753.

"Habitat in Canada, Virginia." RCN: 4350.

Lectotype (Epling in Univ. Calif. Publ. Bot. 20: 41. 1942): Clayton 280 (BM-000042234).

Current name: Scutellaria lateriflora L. ( Lamiaceae).

Note: Although Epling (in J. Bot. 67: 11. 1929) noted material in LINN, and treated a Clayton collection as the standard specimen, this is not equivalent to a type statement (see Jarvis & al. in Taxon 50: 508. 2001). Epling subsequently designated the Clayton collection as the type.
