Calviño, Carolina Isabel & Martínez, Susana Graciela, 2018, Typification of plant names belonging to subfamily Apioideae (Apiaceae) for the Flora of Argentina, Phytotaxa 379 (2), pp. 153-161 : 156-157

16. Ligusticum nemorosum Philippi (1864: 94) .

Lectotype (designated here):— CHILE. Valdivia, R. A. Philippi s.n. (K000975621!; isolectotype, HAL0117426 !).

= Apium panul (Bertero ex Candolle 1830: 669) Reiche (1899: 832) .

Notes:—The protologue of Ligusticum nemorosum ( Philippi 1864) indicates a collection in the province of Valdivia, Chile. We have found two duplicate specimens collected by Philippi that coincide with the protologue, and have chosen K000975621 as the lectotype because it has more material than HAL0117426.

17. Ligusticum panul Bertero ex Candolle ≡ Apium panul (Bertero ex Candolle 1830: 669) Reiche (1899: 832) . Lectotype (designated here):— CHILE. Rancagua, Bertero 375 (G00076248! (two sheets); isolectotype GH00076818!).

Notes:—The name Lugusticum panul was originally published as “pansil ” ( Candolle 1830). This was a typographical error, noticed and corrected by Reiche (1899). Since only one orthographic variant of a name can be validly published (Art. 61), the corrected form Lugusticum panul is the validly published name which is typified here.

The protologue of Ligusticum pansil Bertero ex Candolle (1830) indicates place of collection and collector “Rancagua Chilensium legit cl. Bertero”, but does not indicate collector number or date. We have found several specimens that coincide with the protologue in the description, place of collection, and collector. However, they correspond at least to two different gatherings as they differ in the collection dates: “8ber 1828” (G00076248, GH00076818, SGO000003739, the latter Bertero with no number), “1829” (P00834714, MPU019335), and no date information (P00834716). The specimens of the collection dated October 1828 are in general better preserved than the others. Basal leaves are important to diagnose species within Apium , and therefore we selected G00076248 as the lectotype of Apium panul because it is one of the few specimens with basal leaves, and it is well preserved.
