Hyacinthus racemosusLinnaeus, Species Plantarum1: 318. 1753.
"Habitat in Europa australi." RCN: 2499.
Lectotype(Stearn in Ann. Mus. Goulandris8: 208, f. 14. 1990): Hasselquist, Herb. Linn. No. 438.17 ( LINN).
Note:Stearn took the view ( l.c.: 206-210) that Muscari racemosumMill. (1768)is a new name for H. muscariL. (1753), not a new combination based on H. racemosusL. (1753). Although some had previously rejected Linnaeus'name as ambiguous, Stearn'sinterpretation resulted in M. racemosumMill, making M. racemosum(L.) Medik.a later homonym. Stearn noted that the type of H. racemosuscannot be identified with certainty - it is very difficult to distinguish M. neglectumGuss, and M. atlanticumBoiss. & Reuterin herbarium material (and some authors treat them as synonymous).
