Comment:
  • on p. 473, Magnol's Botanicon monspeliense (1688) is cited as the source of the numbers accompanying species names, so the name is validly published by reference to an earlier description
  • although a reference by Linnaeus to a basionym is lacking, under Shenzhen ICN Art. 41.4 this can be inferred
