Ranunculus aquatilis
Linnaeus
,
Species Plantarum
1
: 556. 1753
.
"Habitat in Europae aquis undosis, fossis, rivulis." RCN: 4100.
Lectotype
(Cook in
Mitt. Bot. Staatssamml.
Muenchen
6: 123. 1966): Herb. Linn. No. 715.75 (
LINN
)
.
Current name:
Ranunculus aquatilis
L.
(
Ranunculaceae
).
Note:
Misled by
Jackson's
erroneous assertion that 715.75 (LINN) was unavailable to Linnaeus until 1767, Cook designated it as
neotype
. However, as it is original material, his choice is accepted as being correctable to a
lectotype
(Art. 9.8).
