Isopyrum aquilegioides
Linnaeus
,
Species Plantarum
1
: 557. 1753
.
"Habitat in Alpibus Helveticis, Tridentinis, Apenninis." RCN: 4105.
Lectotype
(Nardi in
Webbia
47: 219. 1993): [icon]
"Aquilegia parvo flore Thalictri folio"
in Morison, Pl. Hist. Univ. 3: 458, s. 12, t. 1, f. 5. 1699.
Current name:
Isopyrum thalictroides
L.
(
Ranunculaceae
).
Note:
De Beer & Stearn (in
Bull. Brit. Mus.
(
Nat. Hist.
),
Bot.
2: 200, f. 3. 1960) designated
Herb. Burser
VII
(1): 109 (
UPS
)
, a specimen of
Aquilegia
, as
lectotype
. Nardi (in
Webbia
47: 219-221. 1993) argued that the Burser material was not original material for the name - Linnaeus (in ms.) determined it as an
Aquilegia
and it shows no characters of
Isopyrum
.
Nardi therefore treated the choice as a neotypification, which he rejected (as original material was in existence) in favour of the cited Morison illustration. The consequence of this is that
I. aquilegioides
is a synonym of
I. thalictroides
