Scabiosa marina Linnaeus, Mantissa Plantarum Altera: 329. 1771, orth. var.

["Habitat Monspelii."] Cent. II Pl.: 8 (1756). RCN: 811.

Lectotype (Devesa in Lagascalia 12: 174. 1984): Herb. Linn. No. 120.21 (LINN) .

Current name: Scabiosa atropurpurea L. subsp. maritima (L.) Arcang. ( Dipsacaceae).

Note: This appears to be an error for S. maritima L. (1756), from which the 1771 account excludes a Boccone reference previously included in the synonymy of S. maritima .
