Description

Raphanus sativus Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 2: 669. 1753.

"Habitat - - - –” RCN: 4873.

Lectotype (Jonsell in Humbert, Fl. Madagascar 84: 8. 1982): Herb. Linn. No. 846.1 (LINN). - Epitype (Pistrick & Jarvis in Feddes Repert. 98: 477. 1987): Herb. Burser IV: 52 (UPS).

Generitype of Raphanus Linnaeus (vide Green, Prop. Brit. Bot.: 172. 1929).

Current name: Raphanus sativus L. (Brassicaceae).

Note: Jonsell (in Humbert, Fl. Madagascar 84: 8. 1982) typified the name with 846.1 (LINN). However, the absence of a root (necessary to apply infraspecific nomenclature) caused Pistrick & Jarvis (in Feddes Repert. 98: 477. 1987) to reject Jonsell’s choice in favour of a more complete collection in Herb. Burser (UPS). Under Art. 9.17, however, Jonsell’s choice of lectotype must stand but Pistrick & Jarvis’ choice of the Burser material as lectotype, is correctable to an epitype (Art. 9.8).
