Citrus medica Linnaeus var. limon Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 2: 782. 1753.

RCN: 5726.

Lectotype (Mabberley in Telopea 7: 169. 1997): [icon] " Limon vulgaris " in Ferrari, Hesperides: 191, 193. 1646 (see p. 130).

Current name: Citrus x limon (L.) Osbeck ( Rutaceae).

Note: Porter & Elias (in Ann. Missouri Bot. Gard. 66: 131. 1979) indicated unseen material in LINN as the type. However, the only sheet they could have intended (937.1) is linked with C. medica L., rather than var. limon, and so is not original material for the name.
