Typification of the Linnaean name Atropa frutescens (Solanaceae) of an endemic western Mediterranean species
The typification of Atropa frutescens L. (≡ Withania frutescens (L.) Pauquy) (Solanaceae) is discussed. The designation of the nomenclatural type is based on the consultation of Linnaeus’s original material and the literature cited in the protologue. An original specimen conserved in the Linnean Herbarium at the Linnean Society of London (LINN) is designated as the lectotype.
