Description

Aconitum lycoctonum Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 1: 532. 1753.

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

Lectotype (Starmühler in Wisskirchen & Haeupler, Standardliste Farn-Blütenpfl. Deutschl. : 41. 1998): [icon] " 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 & Blanché (in Anales Jard. Bot. Madrid 41: 211. 1984) and Skalický (in Preslia 57: 136-137. 1985). Although Starmühler 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 Sippen Aconitum lycoctonum Gruppe. 1964), this appears to be an unpublished thesis, so effective typification is therefore attributed to Starmühler.
