Dianthus collivagus Jord. in Billot, Annot.: 46. 1856. [December 1856]

Dianthus caryophyllus collivagus ≡ D. caryophyllus var. collivagus (Jord.) Cariot & St-Lager Étude Fl., éd . 8, 2: 104. 1889.

Dianthus sylvestris = D. sylvestris Wulfen in Jacq., Coll. 1: 237. 1786. [January-September 1786]. Ind. Loc.: "abonde sur les côteaux du Rhône près de Lyon".

Type.

(lectotype here designated): Dianthus scheuchzeri Rchb., Dianthus sylvestris auct. Gall. ex parte non Wulf, Lyon a Néron, Jordan, odor levis, folia ramis trigemina semper angustissima; Dianthus scheuchzeri Jord. non Rchb., Dianthus collivagus Jord., Lyon à Neron, ex herbis Jordan, July 1854, CLF056818 !

Note.

Other six specimens collected by Jordan are preserved at LY, but they are not original material, since they are lacking a date or reporting dates later than the protologue.

The lectotype designated here matches the protologue and corresponds to the current application of the name, which is considered as a heterotypic synonym of D. sylvestris subsp. sylvestris in Kerguélen (1993). The lectotype of D. collivagus, concerning the shape of calyx teeth, is very similar to the lectotype of D. inodorus (L.) Gaertn., which in turn is currently included within the variability of D. sylvestris (Domina et al. 2021).
