Typification of Linnaean plant names in Boraginaceae

Lectotypes, neotypes and epitypes are designated by 14 specialists for 42 previously untypified Linnaean plant names belonging to the family Boraginaceae. These newly proposed types support the current usage of the names concerned. Earlier but ineffective or supersedable type statements are discussed.

Typification of Linnaean plant names in Caryophyllaceae

Lectotypes, neotypes and epitypes are designated by 20 specialists for 45 previously untypified Linnaean plant names belonging to the family Caryophyllaceae. These newly proposed types support the current usage of the names concerned. Earlier but ineffective or supersedable type statements are discussed.

Typification of Linnaean plant names in Ericaceae

Lectotypes, neotypes and epitypes are designated by 11 specialists for 18 previously untypified Linnaean plant names belonging to the family Ericaceae. These newly proposed types support the current usage of the names concerned. Earlier but ineffective or supersedable type statements are discussed.

Typification of Linnaean plant names in Cyperaceae

Lectotypes, neotypes and epitypes are designated by seven specialists for 35 previously untypified Linnaean plant names (with one epitype being designated for a previously typified name) belonging to the family Cyperaceae. These newly proposed types support the current usage of the names concerned. Earlier but ineffective or supersedable type statements are discussed.

Typification of linnaean names of taxa of Verbenaceae s.str. described from the Greater Antilles

Lectotypes, neotypes or epitypes are designated for nine names of taxa described by Linnaeus in Citharexylum, Lantana, and Verbena, and currently placed in the family Verbenaceae s.s., that are found in the Greater Antilles.

Lectotypification of Crataegus coccinea L. and its conspecificity with C. pedicellata Sarg. (Rosaceae)

Crataegus coccinea L., a name with an erratic history of usage but which has given its name to an important subdivision of the genus, C. ser. (or sect.) Coccineae, is lectotypified. It is held to be identical to the well-known North American species C. pedicellata Sarg., which it can now safely displace.

Typification of Linnaean plant names in Rosaceae

Lectotypes, neotypes and epitypes are designated by 32 specialists for 52 previously untypified Linnaean plant names belonging to the family Rosaceae. These newly proposed types support current usage of the names concerned. Earlier but ineffective or supersedable type statements are discussed.

Revised typification of Veronica agrestis L. (Scrophulariaceae)

A previously designated lectotype for the name Veronica agrestis L. is here superseded in favour of an alternative original element on the grounds of conflict with the protologue in accordance with Art. 9.17(b) of the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature. An earlier proposal to conserve the name with a conserved type is withdrawn.

Revised lectotypification of Cuscuta epithymum (L.) L. (Convolvulaceae)

The original lectotype for the name Cuscuta europaea var. epithymum L. was based on a specimen from LINN that is not original material. The sole extant original element for the name is deposited in the Burser herbarium inUPS. The previous lectotype is here superseded with the designation of the Burser specimen. Comments on the valid publication of the combination C. epithymum (L.) L. are also included.
