Description

Pyrola minor Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 1: 396. 1753.

"Habitat in Europa frigidiore." RCN: 3114.

Lectotype (Dorr & Barrie in Brittonia 45: 178. 1993): Herb. Linn. No. 568.3 (LINN).

Current name: Pyrola minor L. (Ericaceae/Pyrolaceae).

Note: Stearn (in Biol. J. Linn. Soc. 5: 12. 1973), in an account of Linnaeus’ Öland and Gotland journey of 1741, treated Färö in Gotland as the restricted type locality, and noted the existence of 568.3 (LINN). In his paper, he attributed restricted type localities irrespective of whether any material existed in LINN and, where specimens do exist, he does not refer to any of them as type specimens. The collection subsequently designated as the type shows no annotation associating it with Gotland.
