Jarvis, Charlie, 2007, Chapter 7: Linnaean Plant Names and their Types (part H), Order out of Chaos. Linnaean Plant Types and their Types, London: Linnaean Society of London in association with the Natural History Museum, pp. 557-585 : 574

Hieracium umbellatum Linnaeus , Species Plantarum 2: 804. 1753.

"Habitat in Europae pascuis siccis." RCN: 5876.

Lectotype (designated here by Lack): Herb. Clifford: 387, Hieracium 2, sheet 24 (BM-000646874) .

Current name: Hieracium umbellatum L. ( Asteraceae ).

Note: Pugsley (in J. Linn. Soc., Bot. 54: 293. 1948) noted that 954.46 (LINN) conflicts with the diagnosis, and Lack (in Rechinger, Fl. Iranica 22: 178. 1977) stated "Typus: Hort. Cliff. 387.2, BM". However, he did not distinguish between two Clifford sheets at BM and, as they are not part of a single gathering, Art. 9.15 does not apply. This name is now typified here.
