Gentiana nivalis Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 1: 229. 1753.

"Habitat in Lapponiae, Helvetiae summis alpibus." RCN: 1872.

Type not designated.

Original material: Herb. Burser X: 61 (UPS); Herb. Linn. No. 95 (LAPP); [icon] in Haller, Enum. Meth. Stirp. Helv. 1: 475, t. 7. 1742.

Current name: Gentiana nivalis L. ( Gentianaceae).

Note: Ho & Liu (in Worldw. Monogr. Gentiana: 224. 2001) incorrectly indicated 328.16 (LINN) as the holotype, but the sheet in any case lacks the Species Plantarum number (i.e. “11”), was a post-1753 addition to the collection, and is not original material for the name.
