Betonica alopecuros Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 2: 573. 1753.

"Habitat in montibus Sabaudicis, Austriae superioris, Lessanensibus, Italicis, Galloprovinciae." RCN: 4230.

Lectotype (Hedge in Jarvis & al. in Taxon 50: 510. 2001): Herb. Burser XIII: 119 (UPS) .

Current name: Stachys alopecuros (L.) Benth. ( Lamiaceae).

Note: In the protologue, Linnaeus cited "Burs. XIII: 119", an explicit reference to material in the herbarium of Joachim Burser (UPS), making it the only syntype and Art. 9.10 states that if syntypes exist, a lectotype must be chosen from among them. Hedge therefore designated this material "In montibus GalloProvinciae" as the lectotype. Hedge noted that the type material belongs to the western European form sometimes recognised as subsp. godronii (Rouy) Merxm.
