Current name:
Calopogon tuberosa
(L.) Britton
& al. (
Orchidaceae
).
Note:
Limodorum Linnaeus

nom. rej.
against
Limodorum
Boehm.
Calopogon
R. Br.
is a conserved name.
Fernald (in
Rhodora
23: 132. 1921) stated that this "rests chiefly upon and draws its specific name directly from
...
Martyn t. 50". However, we believe that this is insufficiently precise to be accepted as a valid typification (which is fortunate as the illustration is of
Bletia purpurea
(Lam.)
DC.). Luer (
Native Orch. Florida
: 58. 1972) and Boivin (in
Phytologia
42: 397. 1979) follow Mackenzie.
