Gentiana asclepiadea Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 1: 227. 1753.

"Habitat in alpibus Helvetiae, Pannoniae, Mauritaniae." RCN: 1861.

Type not designated.

Original material: Herb. Burser X: 53 (UPS); Herb. Clifford: 80, Gentiana 2 (BM) ; [icon] in Reneaulme, Specim. Hist. Pl.: 67, 68. 1611.

Current name: Gentiana asclepiadea L. ( Gentianaceae).

Note: Ho & Liu (in Worldw. Monogr. Gentiana: 304. 2001) indicated 328.5 (LINN) as holotype, with 328.6 (LINN) and (evidently) a Clifford sheet as unspecified sorts of type. However, sheet 328.5 is not annotated by Linnaeus such as to link it with this name, and it is not original material for G. asclepiadea .
