"Habitat in America septentrionali." RCN: 6869. Lectotype (Mackenzie in Rhodora 27: 194. 1925): Clayton 76 (BM-000051136). Generitype of Limodorum Linnaeus , nom. rej. 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.
