Selago pinastra Linnaeus, Species Plantarum, ed. 2, 2: 876. 1763.

"Habitat ad Cap. b. spei." RCN: 7706.

Basionym of: Stilbe pinastra (L.) L. (1771) .

Type not designated.

Original material: Herb. Linn. No. 1234.1 (LINN); " Selago prunastri ", Herb. Linn. (UPS); [icon] in Commelin, Hort. Med. Amstelod. Pl. Rar. 2: 219, t. 110. 1701.

Current name: Stilbe pinastra (L.) L. ( Stilbaceae).

Note: Selago pinastra L. (1763) appears to be merely a correction of the specific epithet in Selago prunastri L. (1759) . Although Wijnands (Bot. Commelins: 191. 1983) indicated that 1234.1 (LINN) should “probably” be the type, his uncertainty prevents this from acceptance as a formal typification.
