Chapter 7: Linnaean Plant Names and their Types (part V) Author Jarvis, Charlie Department of Botany, Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, London, UK text 2007 Linnaean Society of London in association with the Natural History Museum London Order out of Chaos. Linnaean Plant Types and their Types 911 926 book chapter https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.291971 978-0-9506207-7-0 291971 Viola canina Linnaeus , Species Plantarum 2 : 935. 1753 . "Habitat in Europae apricis." RCN: 6773. Lectotype (Nikitin in Bot. Zhurn. 80(7): 93. 1995): Herb. Linn. No. 277 ( LAPP ) . Current name: Viola canina L. ( Violaceae ). Note: Jonsell & Jarvis (in Nordic J. Bot. 22: 81. 2002), unaware of Nikitin's earlier choice, designated Clifford material as lectotype . It seems possible that the Lapland type material is identifiable with ssp. montana (L.) Hartm. rather than the typical subspecies. If confirmed, this will prove nomenclaturally disruptive.
