Lunaria annua Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 2: 653. 1753.

"Habitat in Germania." RCN: 4757.

Lectotype (Ball in Jarvis & al., Regnum Veg. 127: 62. 1993): Herb. Linn. No. 832.2 (LINN) .

Current name: Lunaria annua L. ( Brassicaceae).

Note: Lunaria annua was treated as the generitype by Britton & Brown (Ill. Fl. N. U. S., ed. 2, 2: 190. 1913; see McNeill & al. in Taxon 36: 377. 1987). However, under Art. 10.5, Ex. 7 (a voted example) of the Vienna Code, this is a type choice made under the American Code and is to be replaced under Art. 10.5b by Green’s choice (Prop. Brit. Bot.: 171. 1929) of L. redivivah.
