Lectotypes are designated for 83 names of species of Hieracium sect. Hieracium, H. sect. Vulgata and H. sect. Bifida described by Swedish authors based on material from the provinces Gästrikland, Hälsingland and Medelpad of central Sweden. Whenever needed, the affinities and taxonomic value of the lectotypified taxa and the taxonomic implications of the lectotypifications are discussed. One new combination — H. luculentorum T. Tyler nom. et stat. nov. — is proposed to accomplish the taxon previously described as H. chordosum var. luculentum Johanss.
