Scorzonera hirsuta Linnaeus, Mantissa Plantarum Altera: 278. 1771.

"Habitat in Apulia. H. U." RCN: 5796.

Lectotype ( Díaz de la Guardia & Blanca in Taxon 46: 759. 1997): [icon] " Tragopogon Apulum humile hirsutum luteum" in Colonna, Ekphr.: 234, 233. 1606.

Current name: Scorzonera hirsuta L. ( Asteraceae).

Note: Although the protologues of both this and Tragopogon hirsutus Gouan (1764) are not identical, and despite Linnaeus making no reference to Gouan’s publication, Art. 33.3 allows S. hirsuta to be interpreted as a new combination based on Gouan’s name. If this interpretation is adopted, S. hirsuta (Gouan) L. is apparently untypified.
