Salvia sclarea Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 1: 27. 1753.

"Habitat in Syria, Italia." RCN: 214.

Lectotype ( Rosúa & Blanca in Taxon 35: 719. 1986): Herb. Burser XIII: 108 (UPS) .

Current name: Salvia sclarea L. ( Lamiaceae).

Note: Hedge (in Rechinger, Fl. Iranica 150: 452. 1982) indicated the inadequate 42.45 (LINN) as the type, but Rosúa & Blanca argued that this collection conflicted with Linnaeus’ protologue (and was also identifiable as S. argentea L. 1762). They therefore designated Burser material, from Italy, as the lectotype.
