Damasonium palustris
Linnaeus
,
Amoenitates Academicae
4
: 492. 1759
,
nom. inval.
Type not relevant.
Note:
As noted by Stearn (in Geck & Pressler,
Festschr. Claus Nissen
: 631. 1974, this
"name"
resulted from the misplacement of
"Damasonium"
within a list of
Serapias
names in a revised version of the 1756 thesis,
Flora Monspeliensis
.
Stearn suggested that
"Damasonium"
was intended as a varietal epithet under
S. helleborine
, but this does not seem to have been adopted in any of
Linnaeus'
later works.
