Description

Vinca minor Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 1: 209. 1753.

"Habitat in Germania, Anglia, Gallia." RCN: 1711.

Lectotype (Stearn in Taylor & Farnsworth, Vinca Alkaloids: 47. 1973): Herb. Linn. No. 299.1 (LINN).

Generitype of Vinca Linnaeus.

Current name: Vinca minor L. (Apocynaceae).

Note: Vinca major L. was treated as the generitype by Britton & Brown (in Ill. Fl. N. U. S., ed. 2, 3: 20. 1913). 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.: 136. 1929) of V minor.
