Typification of the Linnaean name Statice limonium (Plumbaginaceae).

The typification of the Linnaean name Statice limonium (≡Limonium vulgare) is discussed. Original material preserved at BM, LINN and UPS is heterogeneous and belongs to several species. The specimen at LINN (No. 395.3) is designated as the lectotype to preserve the current usage of the name. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
