Typification of Linnaean names in Eurasian Asphodelaceae

Abstract The typification of four Linnaean names of taxa belonging to the current circumscription of Asphodelaceae is discussed, in addition to the Linnaean‐related Anthericum mattiazzi . Lectotypes are designated from the Adriaan van Royen Herbarium at L ( Hemerocallis lilioasphodelus var. lilioasphodelus , the generitype of the genus), the Burser Herbarium at UPS ( H. lilioasphodelus var. flava , H. lilioasphodelus var. fulva ), and the Linnaean Herbarium at LINN ( Anthericum planifolium ). The LINN specimen serves also as the lectotype for the homotypic priority name A. mattiazzi , the only species currently classified under the genus Simethis . Each type choice maintains the present usage of the corresponding Linnaean name.
