Treatment

Ranunculus grandiflorus Linnaeus View in CoL , Species Plantarum 1: 555. 1753 View Cited Treatment .

"Habitat in Oriente." RCN: 4097.

Neotype (Davis, Fl. Turkey 1: 168. 1965): Herb. Tournefort, " Ranunculus cappadocicus aconitifolio flore luteo maximo" ( P-TOURN) .

Current name: Ranunculus grandiflorus L. View in CoL ( Ranunculaceae ).

Note: Davis (in Notes Roy. Bot. Gard. Edinburgh 23: 113. 1960) discussed the absence of material and treated the name as a nomen ambiguum but later (1965) used the name, treating a Tournefort collection at P as the type. In this, he was followed by Jelenevsky & Derviz-Sokolova (in Novosti Sist. Vyssh. Rast. 16: 117. 1979) and others. As there are no original elements for the name, this is accepted as a formal neotypification (for Linnaeus did not make a study of Tournefort’s herbarium).
