Cynoglossum montanum L. Demonstr. Pl. Horto Upsaliensi: 5 (1753) was described from material obtained in Italy and cultivated in Uppsala. The description refers to name “Cynoglossa media altera virente folio, rubro flore, montana frigidearum regionum” in Colonna´s (Columna´s) Ecphrasis 176 t., 175 (1606). Description and picture were designated as lectotype by Lacaita in Bull. Orto Bot. Napoli 3: 291 (1913) see Figure 1. The type material is not preserved in Linné´s herbarium (Brand 1921 or http://www.nhm.ac.uk/botany/linnaean/databasehome.html). The authorship of the whole publication is sometimes ascribed to Höjer and therefore this name appears sometimes as C. montanum Höjer in Linné (e.g. Cincović & Kojić 1974).
