Dianthus caryophyllus Linnaeus View in CoL , Species Plantarum 1: 410. 1753 View Cited Treatment .

"Habitat in Italia. Rajus." RCN: 3209.

Lectotype (Ghafoor in Jafri & El-Gadi, Fl. Libya 59: 104. 1978): Herb. Linn. No. 581.8 ( LINN) , see opposite, above left.

Generitype of Dianthus Linnaeus (vide Hitchcock, Prop. Brit. Bot.: 155. 1929).

Current name: Dianthus caryophyllus L. View in CoL ( Caryophyllaceae ).

Note: See detailed discussion by Langen & al. (in Taxon 33: 717. 1984), who chose a Herb. Clifford sheet (see their f. 1) as lectotype, unaware of Ghafoor’s earlier choice. As the Linnaean sheet appears to be original material, Ghafoor’s choice is valid and has priority.
