Taxonomic and nomenclatural issues in Asperula aristata L. f. and allied taxa are discussed and the identity of the autonymic subspecies of A. aristata established as being the taxon commonly, but erroneously, called A. aristata subsp. scabra . The synonymy of other names in the group is also discussed, and eight of them are typified. Asperula exaristata , applicable ambiguously to a southern Italian taxon, is newly identified and synonymised.
