Linum radiola Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 1: 281. 1753.

"Habitat in Europae sabulo inundato." RCN: 2223.

Lectotype (Jonsell & Jarvis in Nordic J. Bot. 22: 79. 2002): Herb. Clifford: 114, Linum 6 (BM-000558461) .

Current name: Radiola linoides Roth ( Linaceae).

Note: Smith (in Hubbard & Milne-Redhead, Fl. Trop. E. Africa, Linaceae: 11. 1966) wrongly indicated 396.38 (LINN) as a syntype but as this statement implies no intention to indicate a single nomenclatural type (unlike the use of holotype, lectotype or neotype), this is not regarded as a correctable error.
