Abstract The currently accepted lectotype (Herb. Linn. No. 629.4, LINN) of Reseda glauca L. is identifiable as the related species, R. virgata Boiss. & Reuter. The specimen, collected by Löfling in central Spain, was not explicitly cited in Linnaeus's protologue, in contrast to a specimen (at UPS) collected by Burser in the Pyrenees and identifiable as R. glauca of usage. In accordance with Art. 9.10 of the ICBN , we reject the choice of 629.4 (LINN) as lectotype and we designate Burser's specimen as the lectotype of R. glauca L. in its place. This type choice maintains the traditional and current usage of this well‐known and widely used Linnaean name.
