Delphinium x hybridum Linnaeus, Demonstr. Pl Horto Upsaliensi: 15. 1753 .

RCN: 3951.

Type not designated.

Original material: Herb. Linn. No. 218.19 (S); Herb. Linn. No. 694.9 (LINN) .

Current name: Delphinium cuneatum Steven ex DC. ( Ranunculaceae).

Note: Burtt (in Kew Bull. 9: 68. 1954) stated "The true D. hybridum, of which there is a specimen in the Linnean herbarium, is the same as D. cuneatum Stev. ". Subsequently, Chowdhuri & al. (in Notes Roy. Bot. Gard. Edinburgh 22: 404. 1958) stated that "the specimen in the Linnaean herbarium...must be accepted as the type", but did not distinguish between 694.9 and 694.10 (LINN). They rejected the name as a nomen confusum. It does not appear to be in use and should probably be a candidate for formal rejection.
