Allium moschatum Linnaeus View in CoL , Species Plantarum 1: 298. 1753 View Cited Treatment .

"Habitat in GalloProvinciae, Narbonae, Hispaniae apricis elevatis." RCN: 361.

Lectotype (Pastor & Valdés, Revis. Gen. Allium Penins. Iber. Islas Baleares : 98. 1983): Herb. Burser III: 111, right specimen ( UPS) .

Current name: Allium moschatum L. View in CoL View at ENA ( Liliaceae / Alliaceae ).

Note: De Wilde-Duyfjes (in Taxon 22: 70. 1973) incorrectly designated material in Herb. Bauhin, "Moly moschatum capillaceo folio" ( BAS), not seen by Linnaeus, as lectotype. Pastor & Valdés (in Rev. Gen. Allium Penins. Iber. Islas Balear. : 98. 1983) therefore rejected this choice, designating Burser material as the lectotype instead. However, López González (in Anales Jard. Bot. Madrid 57: 195-197 1999) demonstrates rather convincingly, based on correspondence between Löfling and Linnaeus, that the name was predominantly based on Löfling 253 (now lost). He argues that Burser III: 111 conflicts with the diagnosis that Linnaeus attributed to Löfling, and cannot be its type. He concludes that A. pallens L. (1762) is a synonym of A. moschatum L. , and that A. capillare Cav. is the correct name for A. moschatum L. (1762) , non Loefl. ex L. (1753). He suggests that usage of A. moschatum could be maintained by a conservation proposal based on Burser III: 111.
