In this study, the nomenclature of 14 taxa is discussed:
As part of an ongoing project aimed to push forward the taxonomic knowledge on selected genera of the Italian vascular flora, this study aims to lay the foundations for further taxonomic investigations by an integrated approach based on morphometric and molecular data (
We examined the scientific literature for the effective place of publication of surveyed
(lectotype here designated):
No other original material was found in the surveyed herbaria. According to the label, this plant was originally collected in Reculet and then grown in Jordan’s garden, where it was collected in July. As a matter of fact, besides his huge herbarium and library, Alexis Jordan owned a one-hectare experimental garden. We know that he used it to sow most species every year, while maintaining alive perennial ones, and that he regularly made herbarium sheets from these cultivated plants. In this context, the notion of original material requires particular attention (
The lectotype designated here matches the protologue and corresponds to the current application of the name, which is considered a heterotypic synonym of
(lectotype here designated):
Three herbarium sheets are kept in TO, with several individuals each. All three specimens bear labels handwritten by Moris but lack the year of collection. Two of them come from generic localities (“in arenis maritimis” and “in collibus”), while one is from Belvì in the centre of Sardinia (Nuoro). All the specimens are complete and in good condition but refer to different collections: two specimens have been collected in inner localities, whereas another one comes from the coast. Moris reports that the scape bears a single flower and that another taxon (
Based on the specimen in TO coming from the coast (referring actually to
(lectotype here designated):
A single sheet was found in TO. Albeit it may represent the holotype, it is cautiously designated here as a lectotype.
The selected specimen, uniflorous, has fixed seven portions of plants whose leaves and flower scapes are smaller than those of the typical form. All other characters of the flowers correctly match the protologue. This taxon is a heterotypic synonym of
(lectotype here designated):
Other six specimens collected by Jordan are preserved at LY, but they are not original material, since they are lacking a date or reporting dates later than the protologue.
The lectotype designated here matches the protologue and corresponds to the current application of the name, which is considered as a heterotypic synonym of
(lectotype here designated):
At LY we found another specimen citing “Lautaret (H. Alpes, May, June-July 1855, ex Horto Alexis Jordan, LY0079674!” but lacking basal leaves.
The lectotype designated here matches the protologue and corresponds to the current application of the name, which is considered as a heterotypic synonym of
(neotype here designated):
Neither the original material nor traces of this taxon were found in the herbaria consulted and among the documents accompanying the centuries distributed by Lojacono (

This specimen corresponds with the protologue and with the current application of the name. In
(lectotype here designated):
Two syntypes from Col de Lautaret are housed at LY: LY0825955 and LY0087623, both in good condition. We have designated here the most complete one as lectotype. The selected type comes from Jordan’s garden, where it was cultivated since its first collection in 1853.
This specimen conforms to the description of the protologue and corresponds to the current application of the name, which is considered as a heterotypic synonym of
(lectotype here designated):
Two specimens belonging to the original material are housed at LY: LY0682162 and LY0088790. Both are in good condition. We have designated here the most complete one as the lectotype.
This specimen conforms to the description of the protologue and corresponds to the current application of the name, which is considered a distinct species by
(lectotype here designated):
Another herbarium sheet (LY08259243) is preserved at LY; it contains plants collected in 1855 in Villeurbanne, where they were cultivated after being originally collected in the wild at Reculet (Ain).

No original material was found in GRM and in the other surveyed herbaria. Also A. P. V. Mutel’s Herbarium was checked because he used to include Villars specimens in his own herbarium (M. Lefebvre, pers. comm.).

The lectotype here selected agrees with the current application of the name by numerous authors, e.g.,
(lectotype here designated):
In the same herbarium sheet three herbarium specimens, sent by Michele Tenore to Jaques Étienne Gay, are mounted. K000725363 was collected by Tenore from Calmaldoli (Campania, Italy) in November 1825; K000725364 by Nicolas Bové from La Calle (Algeria) in June 1839, and K000725365 by Tenore from Gargano (Apulia, Italy) in November 1827. In NAP there is a specimen from Gargano with the handwriting by Michele Tenore, lacking a date.

The main text (Icon. Fl. Germ. Helv. 6: 47. 1842–1844. [1844 publ. 1842–1844]) lacks a written diagnosis or description, and, in any case, it is not clear if the plate was published simultaneously with the main text.
