Description

Athamanta cretensis Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 1: 245. 1753.

"Habitat in Helvetia." RCN: 1969.

Lectotype (Reduron & Jarvis in Jarvis & al., Regnum Veg. 127: 22. 1993): Herb. Burser VII(2): 22 (UPS).

Generitype of Athamanta Linnaeus (vide Hitchcock, Prop. Brit. Bot.: 139. 1929).

Current name: Athamanta cretensis L. (Apiaceae).

Note: Jarvis & Knees (in Taxon 37: 474. 1988) chose as type a Clifford sheet which was subsequently found to conflict with Linnaeus’ diagnosis. This choice was therefore rejected by Reduron & Jarvis (1993), who designated material in Herb. Burser to replace it.
