Mirabilis longiflora Linnaeus, Centuria I Plantarum: 7, 34. 1755.

["Habitat - - - [in Mexicae frigidis montibus. Monnier."] Sp. Pl., ed. 2, 1: 252 (1762). RCN: 1401.

Type not designated.

Original material: Herb. Linn. No. 240.3 (LINN); [icon] in Hernandez, Rer. Med. Nov. Hisp.: 170. 1651.

Current name: Mirabilis longiflora L. var longiflora ( Nyctaginaceae).

Note: On the assumption that this name was first published in Kongl. Svenska Vetensk. Acad. Handl. 16: 176, t. 6, f. 1. 1755), Le Duc (in Sida 16: 628. 1995) designated as type the figure published there. However, this article by Linnaeus (for the period Jul–Aug–Sep) appears to be pre-dated by an account of the species in Centuria I Plantarum (Feb 1755), from which this figure is absent, and cannot therefore be original material for the name.
