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

"Habitat in Sibiria. D. Amman." RCN: 1873.

Lectotype (Omer & Qaiser in Edinburgh J. Bot. 50: 65. 1993): [icon] " Gentiana humilis, aquatica, verna " in Amman, Stirp. Rar. Ruth.: 4, t. 1, f. 1. 1739.

Current name: Ciminalis aquatica (L.) Zuev ( Gentianaceae).

Note: Pritchard (in Davis, Fl. Turkey 6: 186. 1978) indicated 328.17 (LINN) as type, as did Agrawal (in J. Econ. Taxon. Bot. 5: 436. 1984) but the sheet lacks a Species Plantarum number (i.e. “12”), was a post-1753 addition to the herbarium, and is not original material for the name. It also apparently conflicts with the protologue and does not belong to the species normally known under this name. Omer & Qaiser therefore rejected this choice of type in favour of the cited Amman plate.
