Campanula velutina Desf.

  • 1. Department of Botany, Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, London, UK

Description

Campanula mollis Linnaeus, Species Plantarum, ed. 2, 1: 237. 1762.

"Habitat in Oriente, Hispania. Alstroemer." RCN: 1322.

Type not designated.

Original material: none traced.

Current name: Campanula velutina Desf. (Campanulaceae).

Note: López González (in Bol. Soc. Brot., sér. 2, 53: 299-308. 1980) pointed out that the Alströmer specimen (221.63, LINN) conflicts fundamentally with Linnaeus’ description, and concluded that the name is best regarded as a nomen ambiguum. He informally rejected the name, taking up C. velutina Desf. instead.
