Typification of the Linnaean name Cleome heptaphylla (Cleomaceae) and Miller's Cleome erucago
TAXON(2022)
Abstract
The name Cleome heptaphylla was published by Linnaeus in the second edition of Species plantarum and is still untypified. Analysis of the protologue and the associated pre-Linnaean names indicated the absence of original material that could serve for lectotypification. A specimen from Miller's herbarium at BM is designated as its neotype. The neotype of C. heptaphylla is also original material of C. erucago, another untypified name in this group, published a few years later by Miller. Cleome erucago is lectotypified using the same specimen and, as such, it is a homotypic synonym of C. heptaphylla.
