Summary The status and typification of five species names and two varieties described by Linnaeus in Lactuca , are discussed. Six new lectotypes are designated; one by material at LINN, one by a van Royen specimen in L, three in the Burser Herbarium (UPS), and one plate of Bauhin ( L. scariola ). An existing typification for Lactuca serriola is discussed.
