Lectotypus (here designated): FRANCE . Hautes Alpes : Lusette en Luz (Drome), 1847, Boullu s.n. ( P! ex Herb. Grenier sub F. meleagris , rev. F. alpicola ) ( Fig. 1 ) . Syntypi . – FRANCE . Hautes Alpes : Mt. Seuse pres Gap, VIII.1847 , Verlot s.n. ( P! ex Herb. Grenier, sub F. meleagris , rev. F. alpicola ); Mt. Séuse près Gap, 1854, Grenier s.n. ( K! ) . GRENIER & GODRON (1855) quote several syntypes for this taxon. From the localities cited in the protologue, we traced, in P and K, specimens that can be considered as original material. Among these we choose the most well-developed and well-presented as lectotype. Taxonomic discussion . – Fritillaria tubiformis was long confused with F. meleagris L. (i.e., BERTOLONI, 1839 ), but it is clearly distinct from all other species from West Europe RENIER & GODRON, 1855 ). On the other hand, it seems close to F. latifolia Willd. , widespread from Caucasus to N Turkey IX, 2001 ), from which it differs in having glaucous leaves (vs. shiny green) and shorter style branches. Among the taxa usually synonymized with F. tubiformis , two seem to deserve special attention ( F. delphinensis var. burnatii Planch. and F. delphinensis f. moggridgei Planch. ), while others have doubtful taxonomic value (i.e., F. delphinensis var. reverchonii Rouy ; ROUY, 1910 ). Similarly to what was done recently with the F. montana W. D. J. Koch complex ( BARTOLUCCI & al., 2009 ; PERUZZI & al., 2009 ; PERUZZI & BARTOLUCCI, 2009 ), a biosystematic study is in progress about the F. meleagris L. complex ( F. meleagris s.l. and F. tubiformis s.l. ), aiming to clarify the relationships among the taxa and their distribution.
