Ranunculus lanuginosus L., 1753

Jarvis, Charlie, 2007, Chapter 7: Linnaean Plant Names and their Types (part R), Order out of Chaos. Linnaean Plant Types and their Types, London: Linnaean Society of London in association with the Natural History Museum, pp. 785-805 : 786

Ranunculus lanuginosus Linnaeus , Species Plantarum 1: 554. 1753 .

"Habitat Monspelii." RCN: 4090.

Lectotype (La Valva & Caputo in Delpinoa, n.s., 27-28: 42. 1988): Herb. Burser IX: 141 ( UPS) .

Current name: Ranunculus lanuginosus L. ( Ranunculaceae ).

Note: Lacaita (in Bull. Orto Bot. Napoli 3: 257-258. 1913) and others such as Jelenevsky & Derviz-Sokolova (in Novosti Sist. Vyssh. Rast. 16: 117. 1979) treated 715.59 (LINN) as the type. However, this was a post-1753 addition to the collection, and La Valva & Caputo (who illustrated the Linnaean material as their Tav. I) therefore rejected this choice, designating Herb. Burser IX: 141 ( UPS) as lectotype in its place.
