Linnaeus, Carl von

Published In: Systema Naturae, Editio Decima 2: 851. 1759. (May-June 1759) (Syst. Nat. (ed. 10))
Annotation: Differing opinions have been expressed about whether this name should be regarded: 1) as a comb. nov. based on Lysimachia monnieri L., or 2) as an independent publication of a new taxon. We regard the first alternative as being most reasonable and in accordance with ICBN Art. 33. There can be no doubt that Linnaeus was referring to the same species in Syst. Nat. (ed. 10) and in Amoen. Acad. (vol. 4), both published in 1759 only months apart. The citation of the name Gratiola monnieri in the latter (which was a revised version of Torner's dissertation published in 1756 in Centuria Plantarum, vol. 2) was merely a correction of the use of the name Lysimachia monnieri the name that was used for the same species that appeared in the original publication.
