Treatment

Citrus medica Linnaeus var. limon Linnaeus View in CoL , Species Plantarum 2: 782. 1753.

RCN: 5726.

Lectotype (Mabberley in Telopea 7: 169. 1997): [icon] " Limon vulgaris " in Ferrari, Hesperides: 191, 193. 1646 (see p. 130).

Current name: Citrus x limon (L.) Osbeck View in CoL View at ENA ( Rutaceae ).

Note: Porter & Elias (in Ann. Missouri Bot. Gard. 66: 131. 1979) indicated unseen material in LINN as the type. However, the only sheet they could have intended (937.1) is linked with C. medica L. , rather than var. limon , and so is not original material for the name.
