Description

Fritillaria meleagris Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 1: 304. 1753.

"Habitat in Gallia, Italia." RCN: 2398.

Lectotype (Turrill in Lily Year-Book 15: 100, 114. 1951): Herb. Linn. No. 421.3 (LINN).

Generitype of Fritillaria Linnaeus (vide Hitchcock, Prop. Brit. Bot.: 145. 1929).

Current name: Fritillaria meleagris L. (Liliaceae).

Note: Fritillaria pyrenaica L. was treated as the generitype by Britton & Brown, Ill. Fl. N. U. S., ed. 2, 1: 505. 1913 (see McNeill & al. in Taxon 36: 372. 1987). However, under Art. 10.5, Ex. 7 (a voted example) of the Vienna Code, this is a type choice made under the American Code and is to be replaced under Art. 10.5b by Hitchcock’s choice (Prop. Brit. Bot.: 145. 1929) of F. meleagris L.
