Citrus aurantium Linnaeus 1753

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

Description

Citrus aurantium Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 2: 782. 1753.

"Habitat in India." RCN: 5727.

Lectotype (Mabberley in Telopea 7: 170. 1997): Herb. Linn. No. 937.2, upper row of leaves (LINN).

Current name: Citrus × aurantium L. (Rutaceae).

Note: Tanaka (in Meded. Rijks-Herb. 69: 8. 1931) and later authors indicated unspecified material at LINN as type, but as there are several sheets there, which are evidently not part of a single gathering, Art. 9.15 does not apply. Coode (in Bosser & al., Fl. Mascareignes 65: 29. 1979) indicated 937.2 (LINN) as lectotype and Mabberley has restricted that choice to the upper specimens on the sheet.
