Libya121: 18. 1986) indicated 437.1 (LINN) as type but this lacks a  Species Plantarumnumber (i.e. "1") and is a post-1753 addition to the collection and not original material. Several authors have discussed the early literature surrounding this name including Trueblood (in Econ. Bot. 27: 165. 1973), and Ullrich (in Herbertia49: 50-57. 1994), who lists many early illustrations, including a Clusius plate cited by Linnaeus, which is also reproduced by Ramon-Laca(in Anales Jard.
