The authors have considered all the Linnaean names in Scabiosa , proposing 13 new typifications (10 lectotypes, 2 neotypes, and noting 1 automatic typification). The designation of S. columbaria as the type of Scabiosa is recognized as attributable to Rafinesque. A previous synonymization (Scabiosa pterocephala L.) is discussed. Several elements believed to belong to the original material employed by Linnaeus were actually added to his herbarium after publication of the relevant protologues.
