Ornithogalum canadenseLinnaeus, Species Plantarum1: 308. 1753.
"Habitat in Africa." RCN: 2408.
Replaced synonym of: Albuca majorL. (1762), nom. illeg.
Lectotype( Mueller-Dobliesin Jarvis & al., Regnum Veg.127: 16. 1993): Herb. Linn. No. 140.5 ( S).
Note:Stearn (in Ann. Mus. 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.
