Atragene sibirica Linnaeus View in CoL , Species Plantarum 1: 543. 1753 View Cited Treatment .

"Habitat in Sibiriae subhumidis ubique." RCN: 4027.

Lectotype (Stearn, Introd. Linnaeus Sp. Pl. (Ray Soc. ed.): 82. 1957): Herb. Linn. No. 711.7 ( LINN) .

Current name: Clematis alpina (L.) Mill. subsp. sibirica (Mill.) Kuntze View in CoL View at ENA ( Ranunculaceae ).

Note: Stearn says that this is "a new species described from a specimen (711.7) in his [ Linnaeus’] herbarium", and Serov & Jarvis (in Taxon 37: 167. 1988) accept it as the type, but treat the name as ambiguous. They did not propose the name for rejection because Clematis sibirica Mill , is a new species, not a recombination of the Linnaean epithet, which prevents the use of the latter in Clematis . Traditional usage is therefore not threatened.
