Stachys hirta
Linnaeus
,
Species Plantarum
, ed. 2, 2
: 813. 1763
,
nom. illeg.
"Habitat in Orientalis, Hispaniae, Italiae collibus." RCN: 4244.
Replaced synonym:
Galeopsis hirsuta
L. (1753)
.
Lectotype
(Turland in Jarvis & al. in
Taxon
50: 511. 2001): Herb. Linn. No. 736.16 (
LINN
)
.
Current name:
Stachys ocymastrum
(L.) Briq.
(
Lamiaceae
).
Note:
Galeopsis hirsuta
was transferred to
Sideritis
in 1759 (as
S. ocymastrum
L.
because of the existence of
Sideritis hirsuta
L. (1753))
, and then appeared as
Stachys hirta
L.
in 1763. The use of
"hirta"
may originally have been an error for
"hirsuta"
(as
G. hirsuta
is included in its synonymy), but as Linnaeus continued to use
"hirta"
in later works (Linnaeus 1767: 395; 1774: 447),
Stachys hirta
is treated as illegitimate.
