38. Laserpitium triquetrum Vent., Descr. Pl. Nouv.: tab. 97. 1803.

Ξ Heptaptera triquetra (Vent.) Tutin

Lectotypus (designated here): [TURKEY]: Hort. Cels, Ventenat s.n. (G [G00341535]!).

Notes. – The plant cultivated by Cels originated from a Bruguière and Olivier collection from Turkey. The cultivated specimen from Cels in Ventenat’s herbarium is designated as the lectotype as it represents the original material. Collections in G-BOIS [G00330753, G00330754] and P [P04274054] are considered here as original material. Herrnstadt & Heyn (1971: 106) designated a type at G and copied the locality given by Ventenat in Descriptions (1803: tab. 8): “Constantinople sur les bords du Canal”. No Bruguière and Olivier collection exists with this locality (see Material and Methods chapter) and their potential implicit lectotypification is not accepted here. The G-BOIS collections have “voyage de Bruguière & Olivier en Orient” even if Boissier (1872: 944) gave “Hab. in collibus ad Bosphorum proper Byzantium (Oliv.!)”.
