Pyrola uniflora
Linnaeus
,
Species Plantarum
1
: 397. 1753
.
"Habitat in Europae borealis sylvis." RCN: 3118.
Lectotype
(Basu in
J. Econ. Taxon. Bot.
14: 463. 1990): Herb. Linn. No. 568.10 (
LINN
)
.
Current name:
Moneses uniflora
(L.) A. Gray
(
Ericaceae
/
Pyrolaceae
).
Note:
Basu (in
J. Econ. Taxon. Bot.
14: 463. 1990) indicated unspecified material in LINN as the
holotype
. As there is only a single sheet associated with this name,
Biju's
statement is accepted as a formal typification (with
holotype
modified to
lectotype
under Art. 9.8). Dorr & Barrie (in
Brittonia
45: 179. 1993), unaware of
Basu's
choice, reached the same conclusion, and provide some discussion about the name.
