Ipomoea violacea Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 1: 161. 1753.

"Habitat in America meridionali." RCN: 1282.

Lectotype (Manitz in Feddes Repert. 88: 268, t. 34. 1977): [icon] in Plumier, Codex Boerhaavianus: tab. sub. No. 851. (University Library, Groningen).

Current name: Ipomoea violacea L. ( Convolvulaceae).

Note: Shinners (in Taxon 14: 104. 1975) stated that the name "must be typified with the plant of Plumier" but without explicitly treating the plate as type. Austin (in Woodson & Schery in Ann. Missouri Bot. Gard. 62: 210. 1975) concluded that the typification was obscure, but Manitz’s explicit type choice has been accepted by most recent authors.
