Fritillaria meleagris L.
| Author: | L. | |
|---|---|---|
| Comments: | Fritillaria pyrenaica L. was treated as the generitype by Britton & Brown, Ill. Fl. N. U. S., ed. 2, 1: 505. 1913 (see McNeill & al. in Taxon 36: 372. 1987). However, under Art. 10.5, Ex. 7 (a voted example) of the Vienna Code, this is a type choice made under the American Code and is to be replaced under Art. 10.5b by Hitchcock's choice (Prop. Brit. Bot.: 145. 1929) of F. meleagris L. | |
