Abstract
The type specimens of three names of taxa of Viola described from Mallorca (Balearic Islands) bearing the epithet barceloi have been studied. The lect otype of Viola barceloi Nyman and the holotype of V. suavis M. Bieb. var. b arceloi O. Bolos & Vigo cannot be distinguished from V. alba Besser s.l. A neotype is chosen for V. barceloi L. Chodat (= V. x balearica Rossello et a l.), which is believed to be the natural hybrid between V. jaubertiana Mare s & Vigineix and V. alba.
