Summary Gustavo Venturi (1830‐1898) wrote 20 articles on the taxonomy of the moss genus Orthotrichum. In these papers, as well as in contributions of new taxa to papers by prominent bryologists of his era, he described 19 species, 3 subspecies, and 48 varieties. Included in these new taxa, were plants from Australasia, North America, the Himalayas, the Caucasus, and Europe. His herbarium at Trento (TR) has not been available for study since his death. This paper presents typification of the names of the most important of Venturi's taxa, including 18 species, one subspecies and seven varieties.
