Lectotype (Webb in Bot. J. Linn. Soc. 95: 265. 1987): Herb. Linn. No. 174.11 (S) .

Current name: Saxifraga tridactylites L. ( Saxifragaceae).

Note: Ali (in Ali & Jafri, Fl. Libya 5: 4. 1976) indicated 575.50 (LINN) as type, but this choice (which carries a symbol for the western edge of Asia) was rejected by Webb as being in conflict with the geographical statement in the protologue.
