Protologue citation
:—
MONTENEGRO
. “Hab. circa Ascrivium [Kotor] in saxosis. Fl. Julio Augusto. Flores albi. v.v. [vidi vivam = seen in living state]”
Nomenclatural notes
:—No type material was traced at PAD (pers. comm. Rossella Marcucci,
18.10.2011
) and the corresponding material may have been lost during WWII when the material was evacuated. It is at least doubtful whether the material distributed in higher copy numbers to various herbaria actually is part of the original material, the more so since the protologue cites locality, flowering time and living plants observed but not a gathering. The K specimens erroneously cited as
syntypes
by
Bräuchler (2006: 979)
and copied by
Melnikov (2015: 106)
are not to be regarded as
syntypes
. The dated specimens are labelled “1832” and “1837”, and may represent original material in case these are dates of communication of the specimen or have no nomenclatural relevance at all in case they represent true dates of collecting. The correct locality for K 000193557! reads: “
Montenegro
ad rupes”. Although rather to be considered a
neotype
, Melnikov´s (2015: 106)
lectotype
(K 000193556!, right hand individual) may be accepted until a thorough search has been conducted at PAD and other institutions known to keep original material of Visiani.
