Jarvis, Charlie, 2007, Chapter 7: Linnaean Plant Names and their Types (part G), Order out of Chaos. Linnaean Plant Types and their Types, London: Linnaean Society of London in association with the Natural History Museum, pp. 529-556 : 529

Gentiana bavarica Linnaeus , Species Plantarum 1: 229. 1753 .

"Habitat in alpibus Helvetiae, Bavaria." RCN: 1870.

Type not designated.

Original material: Herb. Linn. No. 112.15 ( S) ; Herb. Clifford: 81, Gentiana 6 ( BM) ; [icon] in Camerarius, Hort. Med. Phil.: 65, t. 15 f. 2. 1588.

Current name: Gentiana bavarica L. ( Gentianaceae ).

Note: Ho & Liu (in Worldw. Monogr. Gentiana : 270. 2001) indicate what is evidently a Clifford sheet as holotype (with a specimen in S as “type”). The Clifford material must therefore be intended as a lectotype, but the absence of "designated here" (Art. 7.11) appears to make this an ineffective type choice.
