Abstract Although Ferdinando Bassi is the nomenclatural authority for the genus Ambrosina , the correct spelling of the name should be the Linnaean “ Ambrosinia ”. A lectotype is designated for A. bassii , the only species currently recognized. In addition, two lectotypes, two epitypes and one neotype are designated for other names of taxa currently treated within the infra‐specific variability of A. bassii .
