Gentiana utriculosa Linnaeus , Species Plantarum 1: 229. 1753.

“Habitat in Alpibus Helvetiae, Italiae.” RCN: 1874.

Type not designated.

Original material: [icon] in Barrelier, Pl. Galliam: 3, t. 48. 1714; [icon] in Colonna, Ekphr.: 220, 221. 1606.

Current name: Gentiana utriculosa L. ( Gentianaceae ).

Note: Although Ho & Liu (in Worldw. Monogr. Gentiana : 263. 2001) incorrectly indicated 328.18 (LINN) as holotype, the absence of “designated here” (Art. 7.11) precludes the acceptance of this material as a lectotype which, in any case, does not appear to be original material for the name.
