Malva verticillata Linnaeus var. crispa Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 2: 689. 1753.

["Habitat in Syria."] Sp. Pl., ed. 2, 2: 970 (1763). RCN: 5054.

Basionym of: Malva crispa (L.) L. (1759) .

Type not designated.

Original material: Herb. Burser XVIII(1): 6 (UPS); Herb. Clifford: 347, Malva 7 (BM) ; [icon] in Dodoëns, Stirp. Hist. Pempt., ed. 2: 654, 653. 1616.

Current name: Malva crispa (L.) L. ( Malvaceae).

Note: Fryxell (in Syst. Bot. Monogr. 25: 275. 1988) indicated 870.27 (LINN) as holotype, with an isotype at S (presumably sheet 286.7). However, neither of these collections appears to have been in Linnaeus’ possession in 1753, and they are not original material for the name.
