L., and Bechi 1759 Magnoliopsida Caryophyllaceae Arenaria GBIF,CoL Plantae Caryophyllales Tracheophyta species grandiflora      Cerastium strictumLinnaeus,  Species Plantarum1: 439. 1753.  "Habitat in Alpibus Austriacis, Helveticis." RCN: 3404.    Lectotype(Bechi in Webbia52: 176, f. 2. 1998): Herb. Burser XI: 119 ( UPS).   Note: Moeschl(in Mitt. Naturwiss. Vereines Steiermark103: 161. 1973) designated 603.21 (LINN) as type. Despite not indicating the sheet number, it is the only sheet associated with this name, and Ugborogho (in Phyton( Buenos Aires) 35: 175, f. 3. 1977) illustrated this collection. However, this material conflicts with the diagnosis in a number of characters and it is also identifiable as  Arenaria montanaL. (1755). Another collection, Herb. Burser XI: 119 ( UPS), is an explicitly cited specimen and is therefore a syntype, taking precedence for lectotypification purposes (Art. 9.10) over uncited material such as 603.21 (LINN). It matches the protologue well, is a specimen of  Arenaria grandifloraL., and Bechi(in Webbia52: 176, f. 2. 1998) therefore designated it as the lectotype. Fortunately,  C. strictumL. (1753)cannot displace  A. grandifloraL. (1759)because of the existence of  A. strictumMichx., so  C. strictumfalls into the synonymy of  A. grandiflora. 2612073311 UPS 119 lectotype
