Note: See the extensive treatment by Veldkamp (in Taxon 38: 110-116. 1989). He concludes that none of the varied and various elements within Linnaeus’ very broad species concept can be chosen as a lectotype, and instead chooses 600.38 LINN as a neotype. However, with the existence of original material, this choice is contrary to Art. 9.11.
