Notes. – The name Statice fasciculata was validated on the basis of a collection brought back from Corsica by La Billardière and cultivated in Cels’s garden. After the latin diagnosis, Ventenat cited two collections from Herb. Vaillant. On the only sheet at G, the text of one of these collections is copied and placed near the fragment packet. We believe that Ventenat had probably obtained from P a clastotype of P05406334 and we therefore consider the collection at G as a mixed gathering. We designate the cultivated specimen from Cels’s garden as the lectotype. The La Billardière collections present in Webb’s herbarium at FI-W [ FI016966 , FI016967 ] are considered as elements of original material as also the two collections in P [ P05406334 ] and P-TRF [ P00666376 ] ( Fig. 13 ) respectively.
