Monarda ciliata Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 1: 23. 1753.

"Habitat in Virginia." RCN: 180.

Lectotype (Reveal in Jarvis & al. in Taxon 50: 514. 2001): Clayton 412 (BM-000051214).

Current name: Blephilia ciliata (L.) Raf. ( Lamiaceae).

Note: Epling (in J. Bot. 67: 5. 1929) discussed the original elements for the name, and treated Clayton 412 (BM) as the "standard specimen" but this is not equivalent to a type statement (see Jarvis & al. in Taxon 50: 508. 2001). However, this material does appear to be the obvious choice as type, and has been subsequently designated as such by Reveal.
