Abstract Supplementing a recent systematic study of Primula sect. Auricula , we here lectotypify or neotypify 27 names applicable to taxa in this section and the name of one related genus. These are P . auricula var. widmerae Pax, P . balbisii Lehm., P . ciliata Moretti, P . cottia Widmer, P . crenata Lam., P . oenensis Thomas ex Gremli, P . glaucescens Moretti, P . glutinosa Wulfen, P . integrifolia L., P . latifolia var. cynoglossifolia Widmer, P . laevigata Duby ex Rchb., P . longobarda Parta, P . lutea Vill., P . marginata Curtis, P . microcalyx Lehm., P . minima L., P . parlatorii Porta ex Caruel, P . villosa Wulfen, P . villosa var. daonensis Leyb., P . viscosa Vill., P . [unranked] Brevibracteae Widmer, P . [unranked] Rufiglandulae Widmer, P . [unranked] Longibracteatae Widmer, P . [unranked] Cartilagineo ‐ marginatae Widmer, P . [unranked] Luteae Widmer, P . [unranked] Nothobritanica Schott and P . [unranked] Saniculina Schott. We also publish two new combinations: P . lutea subsp. widmerae (Pax) L. B. Zhang and P . lutea subsp. tatriaca (L. B. Zhang) L. B. Zhang. We further synonymize 233 names referable to P . sect. Auricula , including P . glaucescens subsp. longobarda (Porta) Widmer, P . grignensis D. M. Moser and P . pedemontana subsp. iberica Losa et P. Monts. Through extensive herbarium and literature surveys, we further located the types of an additional 32 names in the section, many of which had been thought to be lost or unclear to science.
