Description

Rhodiola rosea Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 2: 1035. 1753.

"Habitat in Alpibus Lapponiae, Austriae, Helvetiae, Britanniae." RCN: 7468.

Lectotype (Ohba in Jarvis & al., Regnum Veg. 127: 81. 1993): Herb. Linn. No. 1186.1 (LINN).

Generitype of Rhodiola Linnaeus.

Current name: Rhodiola rosea L. (Crassulaceae).

Note: Although Clausen (Sedum N. Amer.: 532. 1975) referred to the type sheet as at LINN, this was based on an illustration of specimens by Fröderström (in Acta Horti Gothob. 5, App.: Plate XI. 1930) which was, in fact, a composite of the material on sheets 1186.1, 1186.2 and 1186.3. As these specimens are not part of a single gathering, Art. 9.15 does not apply and Ohba’s choice is accepted here.
