Treatment

Alyssum gemonense Linnaeus View in CoL , Systema Naturae, ed. 12, 2: 437; Mantissa Plantarum: 92. 1767, nom. illeg.

RCN: 4741.

Type not designated.

Original material: Herb. Linn. No. 828.21 ( LINN) ; [icon] in Arduino, Animadv. Bot. Spec. Alt.: 30, t. 14. 1764.

Current name: Aurinia petraea View in CoL View at ENA (Ard.) Schur ( Brassicaceae ).

Note: In the protologue, Linnaeus referred to “Alyssum” from "Ard. Spec. 2. p. t. 10". No page number was given, but t. 10 in Animadv. Bot. Spec. Alt. (1764) is an Arenaria . However, Linnaeus’ diagnosis is a close match for the text on p. 30, and the illustration at t. 14, both associated with Alyssum petraeum Ard., a valid binomial. Ball & Dudley (in Turin & al., Fl. Europaea 1: 299. 1964) have treated the two names as synonymous, and A. gemonense appears to be illegitimate.
