Nomenclature : Note. – Cerinthe maculata L. has been recently neotypified with a specimen (BM!) from the same locality of the type collection of C. auriculata Ten., i.e., Mt. Pollino in southern Italy (Edmondson, 2004). The two specimens are nearly identical and clearly belong to the same taxon. The correct name at species rank would, therefore, become C. maculata, but maintaining the taxon as a subspecies the epithet “auriculata” in current use has priority and is maintained.
