Orobanche icterica Pau, frequently regarded as a synonym for O. elatior Sutton, is lectotypified on Pau's original material from the herbarium of the Real Jardín Botánico in Madrid (MA 115079!). Its morphology is described with special emphasis on those characters which distinguish it from O. elatior. O. icterica is mainly found in the east of the Iberian Peninsula and sporadically in the south and north‐west. It is considered to be close to O. elatior but deserving recognition at specific level. © 2005 The Linnean Society of London, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society , 2005, 148 , 117–124.
