Delphinium ambiguum
Linnaeus
,
Species Plantarum
, ed. 2, 1
: 749. 1762
.
"Habitat in Mauritania." RCN: 3948.
Lectotype
(Munz in
J. Arnold Arbor.
48: 177. 1967): Herb. Linn. No. 694.4 (
LINN
)
.
Current name:
Consolida ajacis
(L.) Schur
(
Ranunculaceae
).
Note:
See extensive discussion by
Blanche
& Molero (in
Bot. J. Linn. Soc.
113: 125-133. 1993). They agree with the choice made by Munz, but argue that De Candolle was the first to select the
lectotype
. They conclude that the name is a synonym of
Consolida ajacis
(L.) Schur. See
further comments by
Blanche
& al. (in
Lagascalia
19: 74. 1997).
