Goulandris6: 158, f. 10. 1983) indicated as "suggested  lectotype" for  Ornithogalum canadenseL.(the basis of  A. major) a Cornut plate, but as he also added "but Linn. Herb. 426.1...possible", this cannot be accepted as an unequivocal choice of type. The name was formally typified by U. Mueller-Dobliesin 1993 but subsequently (see Feddes Repert.105: 367. 1994; 117: 116. 2006) informally rejected as a nomen confusum(as the basionym of  Albuca canadensis) in favour of  A. maximaBurm.f. (1768). However, no formal proposal for the rejection of the name appears to have been made. 2611983437 S 140.5 lectotype
