Summary The delimitation of the species Daucus carota L. is confused by the occurrence of crop‐weed complexes. As a result of a study of the Linnaean protologue and the elements on which it is based, specimen 340.1 (LINN) is designated as lectotype for Daucus carota L. Vouchers and the status of the unnamed varieties β and γ are discussed.
