Delphinium ambiguum Linnaeus, Species Plantarum, ed. 2, 1: 749. 1762.

"Habitat in Mauritania." RCN: 3948.

Lectotype (Munz in J. Arnold Arbor. 48: 177. 1967): Herb. Linn. No. 694.4 (LINN) .

Current name: Consolida ajacis (L.) Schur ( Ranunculaceae).

Note: See extensive discussion by Blanché & Molero (in Bot. J. Linn. Soc. 113: 125-133. 1993). They agree with the choice made by Munz, but argue that De Candolle was the first to select the lectotype. They conclude that the name is a synonym of Consolida ajacis (L.) Schur. See further comments by Blanché & al. (in Lagascalia 19: 74. 1997).
