Lectotype

Oesterr
. Bot. Zeitschr.
122: 262. 1973): Herb. Linn. No. 120.14 (
LINN
)
.
Current name:
Knautia drymeia
Heuff.
(
Dipsacaceae
).
Note:
Gutermann & al., in typifying the name, concluded that as their chosen type was identifiable as
K. drymeia
Heuff. (1856)
,
S. sylvatica
should be rejected as a
nomen ambiguum.
However, no formal proposal for its rejection appears to have been made.
