Amaryllis zeylanica Linnaeus View in CoL , Species Plantarum 1: 293. 1753 View Cited Treatment .

"Habitat in Zeylona." RCN: 2327.

Basionym of: Crinum zeylanicum (L.) L. (1767) .

Lectotype (Dassanayake in Taxon 30: 481. 1981): [icon] " Lilio-Narcissus Ceylanicus latifolius flore niveo, externe linea purpurea striato " in Commelin, Hort. Med. Amstelod. Pl. Rar. 1: 73, t. 37. 1697 (see p. 250).

Current name: Crinum zeylanicum (L.) L. View in CoL ( Liliaceae / Amaryllidaceae ).

Note: Dassanayake rejects Nordal’s typification (in Norweg. J. Bot. 24: 189. 1977; Adansonia , sér. 2, 20: 187. 1980; Fl. Gabon 28: 38. 1986) on an Ehret plate cited by Linnaeus under the unnamed var. β because Linnaeus questions whether or not it belongs to A. zeylanicum . See also Wijnands (in Bot. Commelins: 37. 1983, "The epithet ‘” zeylanica ' and the habitat ' Zeylona ' also indicate that Ehret’s plate of an African plant did not contribute to Linnaeus’ concept of A. zeylanica .
