The type specimen of Orobanche sanguinea C. Presl, still identifiable even though damaged, belongs to the species generally known under that name. It is therefore unnecessary to conserve Presl’s name with a conserved type, as has been proposed. To eliminate any future controversy over the application of the name Orobanche sanguinea , an epitype is designated.
