Valeriana locusta Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 1: 33. 1753.

RCN: 265.

Neotype (Prakash in J. Econ. Taxon. Bot., Addit. Ser. 17: 56. 1999): Herb. Linn. No. 48.14 (LINN) .

Current name: Valerianella locusta (L.) Laterr. ( Valerianaceae).

Note: There appear to be no original elements for the name. Consequently, Prakash’s statement is accepted as a neotypification under Art. 9.8. The homonym and var. olitoria are therefore homotypic, and synonymous, which accords with usage.
