Note: Stearn (in J. Linn. Soc., Bot. 51: 472. 1938) stated that Linnaeus knew this only from garden material and that the Colli Euganei (near Padova, Italy) should be regarded as the type locality. However, he did not designate a type. Stearn (Genus Epimedium : 3-4, 155-156. 2002) subsequently provided further comments on Linnaeus’ knowledge of this species.
