Original material: Herb. Linn. No. 896.23 (LINN); Herb. Linn. No. 896.25 (LINN); [icon] in Magnol, Hort. Reg. Monspel: 17, unnumbered plate. 1697.

Note: See extensive discussion by Devesa & López González (in Anales Jard. Bot. Madrid 55: 253-254. 1997) who note that 896.25 (LINN) matches Linnaeus’ description, but is sterile and difficult to identify. The cited illustration from Magnol is identifiable as O. aragonensis Asso.
