Revisiting the Typification of the Linnaean Name Hesperis verna (Brassicaceae, Arabideae)

The typification of the name Hesperis verna L. (Brassicaceae) is herein revised. This name was previously “lectotypified” by a specimen kept in the herbarium LINN (Herb. Linnaeus No. 841.6). However, the protologue cited a specimen from the Joachim Burser Herbarium, currently preserved at UPS-BURSER (Herb. Burser IV: 47). According to the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants, this is a syntype which must be chosen as the lectotype.
