Note: Erben (in Mitt. Bot. Staatssamml. München 14: 447. 1978; 27: 396. 1988) treated 395.16 (LINN) as the type. However, there seems little to link this Scopoli collection, received by Linnaeus around 1762-63, with the protologue apart from Linnaeus filius’ determination. Erben (1988) excluded Linnaeus’ cited synonyms and evidently uses the name in a sense entirely different from that employed by Pignatti (in Tutin & al., Fl. Europaea 3: 43. 1972), and previously (1978) by Erben himself. In 1988, he described L. pseudominutum Erben for that taxon.
