| Comments: |
Apium graveolens, with the type designated by Reduron & Jarvis (Herb. Clifford: 107, Apium 1, BM), was simultaneously proposed as conserved type of the genus by Jarvis (in Taxon 41: 557. 1992). However, the proposal was eventually ruled unnecessary by the General Committee (see Barrie, l.c. 55: 795-796. 2006 for a review of the history of this and related proposals). The type designated by Reduron & Jarvis is, however, pre-dated by the choice of 374.3 (LINN) by Tardieu-Blot (1967). With the failure of the conservation proposal, this collection becomes the correct choice as type. See discussion by Reduron (Ombellifères de France 1: 432-434. 2007) who designated an epitype in its support. |
