Chapter 7: Linnaean Plant Names and their Types (part R) Author Jarvis, Charlie Department of Botany, Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, London, UK text 2007 Linnaean Society of London in association with the Natural History Museum London Order out of Chaos. Linnaean Plant Types and their Types 785 805 book chapter https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.291971 978-0-9506207-7-0 291971 Ranunculus grandiflorus Linnaeus , Species Plantarum 1 : 555. 1753 . "Habitat in Oriente." RCN: 4097. Neotype (Davis, Fl. Turkey 1: 168. 1965): Herb. Tournefort, " Ranunculus cappadocicus aconitifolio flore luteo maximo" ( P-TOURN ) . Current name: Ranunculus grandiflorus L. ( Ranunculaceae ). Note: Davis (in Notes Roy. Bot. Gard. Edinburgh 23: 113. 1960) discussed the absence of material and treated the name as a nomen ambiguum but later (1965) used the name, treating a Tournefort collection at P as the type. In this, he was followed by Jelenevsky & Derviz-Sokolova (in Novosti Sist. Vyssh. Rast. 16: 117. 1979) and others. As there are no original elements for the name, this is accepted as a formal neotypification (for Linnaeus did not make a study of Tournefort's herbarium).
