Allium rotundum
Linnaeus
,
Species Plantarum
, ed. 2, 1
: 423. 1762
.
"Habitat in Europa australiori." RCN: 2347.
Type not designated.
Original material:
Herb. Burser III: 104 (
UPS
)
; [icon] in Micheli, Nov. Pl. Gen.: 25, t. 24, f. 1. 1729.
Current name:
Allium rotundum
L.
(
Liliaceae
/
Alliaceae
).
Note:
De Wilde-Duyfjes (in
Taxon
22: 80. 1973) treated a Haller collection (P) as the
lectotype
but this collection was not studied by Linnaeus and is not original material for the name. Pastor &
Valdes
(
Revis. Gen.
Allium
Penins. Iber. Islas Baleares
: 53-54. 1983) consequently rejected this choice and discussed the other original elements but failed to find one that would make a satisfactory type as they appear to belong to other taxa.
