Abstract
As part of a revision of the genus Polycnemum Linnaeus (1753: 35) in Europe we here present a nomenclatural study of the untypified name Polycnemum majus A. Braun ex Bogenhard (1841: 151–152). This study is also related to a joint nomenclatural investigation of the Linnaean names of Camphorosma Linnaeus (1753: 122), where we detected that most original material of C. acuta Linnaeus (1753: 122) agrees with P. majus. That matter and a corresponding formal proposal to conserve P. majus so as to maintain that name will be published elsewhere.
