"Habitat in Europa australi." RCN: 1853. Lectotype (Strid in Cafferty & Jarvis in Taxon 53: 1053. 2004): Loefling 307 , Herb. Linn. No. 326.1 ( LINN ) . Generitype of Velezia Linnaeus. Current name: Velezia rigida L. ( Caryophyllaceae ). Note: Although Ghazanfar & Nasir (in Nasir & Ali, Fl. Pakistan 175: 120. 1986) indicated material in LINN and UPS as syntypes (incorrectly, as neither collection was explicitly cited in the protologue), the specimens do not form part of a single collection (Art. 9.15) so their statement cannot be interpreted as a formal typification.
