Rhodiola rosea

Species Plantarum

: 1035. 1753
.
"Habitat in Alpibus Lapponiae, Austriae, Helvetiae, Britanniae." RCN: 7468.
Lectotype
(Ohba in Jarvis & al.,
Regnum Veg.
127: 81. 1993): Herb. Linn. No. 1186.1 (
LINN
)
.
Generitype
of
Rhodiola
Linnaeus.
Current name:
Rhodiola rosea
L.
(
Crassulaceae
).
Note:
Although Clausen (
Sedum N. Amer.
: 532. 1975) referred to the type sheet as at LINN, this was based on an illustration of specimens by
Froederstroem
(in
Acta Horti Gothob.
5, App.: Plate XI. 1930) which was, in fact, a composite of the material on sheets 1186.1, 1186.2 and 1186.3. As these specimens are not part of a single gathering, Art. 9.15 does not apply and
Ohba's
choice is accepted here.
