Morus alba Linnaeus , Species Plantarum 2: 986. 1753.

"Habitat in China." RCN: 7146.

Lectotype (Browicz in Rechinger, Fl. Iranica 153: 3. 1982; Rao & Jarvis in Taxon 35: 705. 1986): Herb. Linn. No. 1112.1, upper left specimen ( LINN) .

Current name: Morus alba L. ( Moraceae ).

Note: Bhopal & Chaudhri (in Pakistan Syst. 1(2): 29. 1977) indicated unspecified material in LINN as the holotype but did not distinguish between sheets 1112.1 and 1112.2. As they do not appear to be part of a single gathering, Art. 9.15 does not apply. Browicz designated 1112.1 (LINN) as lectotype and this choice was subsequently restricted to the upper left specimen on the sheet by Rao & Jarvis.
