Ixia chinensis
Linnaeus
,
Species Plantarum
1
: 36. 1753
.
"Habitat in India." RCN: 290.
Lectotype
(Goldblatt & Mabberley in
Novon
15: 129. 2005): [icon]
"Belam-canda-schularmani"
in Rheede, Hort. Malab. 11: 73, t. 37. 1692.
Current name:
Belamcanda chinensis
(L.) A. DC.
(
Iridaceae
).
Note:
The correct name in
Belamcanda
is
B. chinensis
(L.)
A. DC. However, if
Belamcanda
is subsumed within
Iris
, as favoured by Goldblatt & Mabberley (in
Novon
15: 128-132. 2005), the correct name for
Ixia chinensis
is
Iris domestica
(L.) Goldblatt & Mabb.
