Chapter 7: Linnaean Plant Names and their Types (part C) 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 370 473 book chapter https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.291971 978-0-9506207-7-0 291971 Croton tinctorius Linnaeus , Species Plantarum 2 : 1004. 1753 . "Habitat Monspelii." RCN: 7272. Lectotype (Radcliffe-Smith in Nasir & Ali, Fl. Pakistan 172: 50. 1986): Loefling s.n. , Herb. Linn. No. 1140.5 ( LINN ) . Current name: Chrozophora tinctoria (L.) A. Juss. ( Euphorbiaceae ). Note: Specific epithet spelled "tinctorium" in the protologue. Prain (in Bull. Misc. Inform. Kew 1918: 49. 1918) discusses this name and gives (pp. 50-53) an exhaustive account of the pre-Linnaean literature. Radcliffe-Smith (in Meikle, Fl. Cyprus 2: 1450. 1985) indicated a type at LINN but did not distinguish between sheets 1140.5 and 1140.6. As they are evidently not part of a single gathering, Art. 9.15 does not apply.
