Rosmarinus officinalis Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 1: 23. 1753.

"Habitat in Hispania, G. narbonensi, Galilaea." RCN: 181.

Lectotype (Hedge in Jarvis & al., Regnum Veg. 127: 82. 1993): Herb. Clifford: 14, Rosmarinus 1 α, sheet 5 (BM-000557615) .

Generitype of Rosmarinus Linnaeus.

Current name: Rosmarinus officinalis L. ( Lamiaceae).

Note: Siddiqi (in Jafri & El-Gadi, Fl. Libya 118: 30. 1985) and Hedge (in Ali & Nasir, Fl. Pakistan 192: 26. 1990) treated 41.2 and 41.1 (LINN) respectively as the type. However, neither sheet appears to have been present in the herbarium in 1753, and Hedge subsequently designated Clifford material as the lectotype.
