  • 1. Department of Botany, Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, London, UK

Description

Apium graveolens Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 1: 264. 1753.

"Habitat in Europae humectis, praesertim maritimis." RCN: 2110.

Lectotype (Tardieu-Blot in Aubréville, Fl. Cambodge Laos Vietnam 5: 44. 1967): Herb. Linn. No. 374.3 (LINN).

Generitype of Apium Linnaeus.

Current name: Apium graveolens L. (Apiaceae).

Note: Apium graveolens, with the type designated by Reduron & Jarvis (Herb. Clifford: 107, Apium 1, BM), was proposed as conserved type of the genus by Jarvis (in Taxon 41: 557. 1992). However, the proposal was eventually ruled unnecessary by the General Committee (see Barrie, l.c. 55: 795-796. 2006 for a review of the history of this and related proposals). The type designated by Reduron & Jarvis is, however, pre-dated by the choice of 374.3 (LINN) by Tardieu-Blot (1967). With the failure of the conservation proposal, this collection becomes the correct choice as type.
