Linum suffruticosum
Linnaeus
,
Species Plantarum
1
: 279. 1753
.
"Habitat in Regno Valentino." RCN: 2217.
Neotype
(Nicholls in
Bot.J. Linn. Soc.
91: 486. 1986): Herb. Tournefort No. 3089 (
P
)
.
Current name:
Linum tenuifolium
L. subsp.
suffruticosum
(L.) Litard.
(
Linaceae
).
Note:
Although the Tournefort collection was not studied by Linnaeus, and cannot be the
holotype
as suggested by Nicholls, the absence of any original material for the name means that this collection can be treated as a
neotype
(under Art. 9.8).
