Aconitum napellus Linnaeus View in CoL , Species Plantarum 1: 532. 1753 View Cited Treatment .

"Habitat in Helvetia, Bavaria, Gallia." RCN: 3954.

Lectotype (Seitz in Feddes Repert. 80: 24, t. 1. 1969): Herb. Clifford: 214, Aconitum 3, sheet A (BM-000628795) .

Generitype of Aconitum Linnaeus.

Current name: Aconitum napellus L. View in CoL View at ENA ( Ranunculaceae ).

Note: Aconitum napellus , with the type designated by Seitz (but in the proposal erroneously attributed to Molero & Blanché in Anales Jard. Bot. Madrid 41: 212. 1984), was proposed as conserved type of the genus by Jarvis (in Taxon 41: 555. 1992). However, the proposal was eventually ruled unnecessary by the General Committee (see Barrie, l.c. 55: 795-796. 2006 for a review of the history of this and related proposals).

Seitz’s choice of the Clifford sheet as type was rejected by Skalický (in Preslia 54: 117. 1982), on the grounds of geographical conflict with the protologue, and a neotype chosen. Despite being followed by Starmühler (in Wisskirchen & Haeupler, Standardliste Farn-Blütenpfl. Deutschl.: 41. 1998), this is in any case invalid because original elements are in existence.
