The typification of ten Linnaean names of taxa belonging to the Valerianaceae is discussed. Lectotypes are designated from the Linnaean herbarium at LINN ( Valeriana dioica, V. locusta var. discoidea, V. phu, V. tripteris ), the Burser Herbarium at UPS ( V. montana, V. tuberosa ), and from the Clifford Herbarium at BM ( V. rubra ). An illustration in a pre‐Linnaean work is designated as the lectotype of both V . locusta var. mutica and V . locusta var. pumila . Valeriana mixta , often treated as ambiguous, is discussed and will be proposed for formal rejection. Each type choice made here maintains the present usage of the corresponding Linnaean name.
