Vaccinium stamineum
Linnaeus
,
Species Plantarum
1
: 350. 1753
.
"Habitat in America septentrionali." RCN: 2701.
Lectotype
(Vander Kloet in
Taxon
38: 131. 1989):
Kalm
, Herb. Linn. No. 497.2 (
LINN
)
.
Current name:
Vaccinium stamineum
L.
(
Ericaceae
).
Note:
Vander Kloet (
Genus
Vaccinium
N. America
: 91. 1988) stated that the type was a Kalm collection at LINN but did not make it clear whether he regarded 497.2 or 497.22, both of which he mentioned, as the type. The type choice therefore dates from 1989.
