Aconitum lycoctonum
Linnaeus

.
"Habitat in Alpibus Lapponiae, Helvetiae, Austriae, Italiae." RCN: 3953.
Lectotype

"
Aconitum lycoctonum
flore luteo"
in Besler, Hort. Eystett. aest.: ord. 1, fol. 11, f. 2. 1613.
Current name:
Aconitum lycoctonum
L.
(
Ranunculaceae
).
Note:
Tamura & Lauener (in
Notes Roy. Bot. Gard. Edinburgh
37: 459. 1979) regarded this as a
nomen ambiguum.
See also discussion of the name and material by Molero &
Blanche
(in
Anales Jard. Bot. Madrid
41: 211. 1984) and
Skalicky
(in
Preslia
57: 136-137. 1985). Although
Starmuehler
attributed the typification to Warncke (
Die europ. Sippen
Aconitum lycoctonum
Gruppe.
1964
), this appears to be an unpublished thesis, so effective typification is therefore attributed to
Starmuehler
.
