Description

Mespilus cotoneaster Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 1: 479. 1753, nom. cons.

"Habitat in Europae frigidioris collibus apricis inque Pyrenaeis, Ararat." RCN: 3659.

Conserved type (Thulin & Ryman in Taxon 52: 371. 2003): Sweden. Uppland, Norby lund, at the Linnaean path, 15 Jul 2002, S. Ryman 9126 (UPS).

Current name: Cotoneaster integerrimus Medik. (Rosaceae).

Note: Hylmö (in Svensk Bot. Tidskr. 87: 327. 1993) designated Herb. Clifford: 189, Mespilus 5 (BM) as lectotype, a collection that he identified as belonging to a mainly central European taxon that he regarded as not conspecific with the apomictic Scandinavian taxon to which the name had long been applied. Hylmö described the Scandinavian species as C. scandinavicus Hylmö. Thulin & Ryman (in Taxon 52: 371. 2003) successfully proposed M. cotoneaster for conservation with a conserved type, in order to allow C. integerrimus Medik. to continue in use for the Scandinavian taxon whether a narrow or broad species concept is adopted.
