Alyssum alyssoides Linnaeus 1759

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

Description

Clypeola minor Linnaeus, Flora Monspeliensis: 21. 1756, nom. nud.

Type not relevant.

Current name: Alyssum alyssoides (L.) L. (Brassicaceae).

Note: As explained by Stearn (in Geck & Pressler, Festschr. Claus Nissen: 625, 632. 1974), names from the original publication of the dissertation Flora Monspeliensis (1756) are not valid, as there are no descriptions nor any indication of the significance of the numbers that appear in the right-hand column. " Clypeola minor " appeared in the original dissertation (where it is a nomen nudum) but Linnaeus substituted Alyssum alyssoides (L.) L., (Syst. Nat., ed. 10, 2: 1130. May–Jun 1759) for it in the Nov 1759 reprint. However, some authors (e.g. Meikle, Fl. Cyprus 1: 138. 1977; Hartvig in Strid & Kit Tan, Fl. Hellenica 2: 204. 2002) have incorrectly used Alyssum minus (L.) Rothm. for this taxon.
