Sambucus nigra Linnaeus var. laciniata Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 1: 270. 1753.

RCN: 2144.

Type not designated.

Original material: Herb. Burser XXIV: 20 (UPS); [icon] in Dodoëns, Stirp. Hist. Pempt., ed. 2: 844, 845. 1616.

Current name: Sambucus nigra L. ( Caprifoliaceae).

Note: Greuter (in Candollea 44: 566. 1989) argues that Linnaeus provided a new combination for this variety at the rank of species in Fl. Anglica: 14 (1754). However the epithet is indented beneath “nigra”, elsewhere accepted by Greuter as acceptance of varietal rank.
