Saxifraga punctata Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 1: 401. 1753.

"Habitat in Sibiria." RCN: 3151.

Lectotype (Pugsley in J. Linn. Soc., Bot. 50: 272, pl. 7. 1936): Herb. Linn. No. 575.24 (LINN) .

Current name: Saxifraga punctata L. ( Saxifragaceae).

Note: Webb (in Feddes Repert. 69: 153. 1964) treated this as a nomen ambiguum and later (in Bot. J. Linn. Soc. 95: 263. 1987) stated that he intended to propose the name for rejection. However, no formal proposal appears to have been made.
