Linnaeus
,
Species Plantarum

.
"Habitat in Germania, Anglia, Gallia." RCN: 1711.
Lectotype
(Stearn in Taylor & Farnsworth,

Alkaloids
: 47. 1973): Herb. Linn. No. 299.1 (
LINN
)
.
Generitype
of
Vinca
Linnaeus.
Current name:
Vinca minor
L.
(
Apocynaceae
).
Note:
Vinca major L.
was treated as the
generitype
by Britton & Brown (in
Ill. Fl. N. U. S.
, ed. 2, 3: 20. 1913). However, under Art. 10.5, Ex. 7 (a voted example) of the Vienna Code, this is a type choice made under the American Code and is to be replaced under Art. 10.5b by
Hitchcock's
choice (
Prop. Brit. Bot.
: 136. 1929) of
V minor
.
