The names Hieracium pyrenaicum L. (≡ Crepis pyrenaica (L.) Greuter), H. pappoleucon (= C. pyrenaica ), C. grandiflora Willd. (= C. pyrenaica ), H. blattarioides L. (≡ Crepis blattarioides (L.) Vill.) and H. pyrenaicum var. helveticum L. (≡ H. conyzifolium Gouan; Crepis conyzifolia (Gouan) A.Kern.; = C. blattarioides ) are discussed and lectotypified if necessary. Hieracium conyzifolium is homotypic with H. pyrenaicum var. helveticum L., which is a heterotypic synonym of H. blattarioides. Picris pyrenaica L. (≡ Hieracium pyrenaicum var. pilosum L.) is also a heterotypic synonym of Hieracium blattarioides L. The types of other names referable to these two species ( Crepis pyrenaica and C. blattarioides ) are also considered. The name Crepis conyzifolia was misapplied by some authors to the species properly known as C. pyrenaica (L.) Greuter. Also C. blattarioides (L.) Vill. is no longer treated as synonym of C. pyrenaica (L.) Greuter. Therefore C. pyrenaica (L.) Greuter and C. blattarioides (L.) Vill. should be recognized as two distinct species.
