14. Hieracium murorum subsp. nemorensifolium Briquet & Zahn in Zahn (1934: 483)

Ind. loc.:—“ Jura du Bourget: Unter Tannen am Mtgne de l’Epine unter Chateau Richard 1250 in! Mt Grelle 1400 m!”

Type:—[ FRANCE, Dép. Savoie] “ Chaine du Bourget . Sapinaies de la Montagne de l’Epins sous Château Richard 1250 m, 7 Jul 1924, J. Briquet ” (lectotype, designated here: G barcode G00414354 [image!], image of the lectotype available at https://www.ville-ge.ch/musinfo/bd/cjb/chg/adetail.php?id=613504&lang=en) .

Syntype:—[ FRANCE, Dép. Savoie] “ Chaine du Bourget . Mt. Grelle sapinaies ou versant E, 1400 m, 8 Jul 1924, J. Briquet ” ( G00414353a [image!]) .

Remarks:— Zahn (1934) published H. murorum subsp. nemorensifolium based on Briquet’s collections made in the Jura Massif, available in Briquet’s herbarium housed in G. The collection localities were cited as “Mt.gne de l’Epine unter Chateau Richard 1250 m and Mt Grelle 1400 m ”. In the absence of a designated type, all of Briquet’s specimens from these localities are to be treated as syntypes (Art. 9.6. of ICN, Turland et al. 2018). Altogether, three potentially matching specimens were located in G. Considering the quality of the specimens, we designate G00414354 as a lectotype (ICN Art. 9.3). Because of the broad phyllaries, this taxon seems not to belong to H. tenuiflorum but to H. murorum s.l. Therefore, we made no new combination.

Current name: — Hieracium murorum subsp. nemorensifolium Briq. & Zahn.
