Rhododendron ponticum Linnaeus , Species Plantarum, ed. 2, 1: 562. 1762.

"Habitat in Oriente, Gibraltariae subhumidis umbrosis. Alstroemer." RCN: 3091.

Type not designated.

Original material: Alströmer 95, Herb. Linn. No. 562.5 ( LINN) .

Current name: Rhododendron ponticum L. ( Ericaceae ).

Note: This name was based on a description from Tournefort and material (Herb. Linn. No. 562.5) collected by Alströmer at Gibraltar - see López González (in Anales Jard. Bot. Madrid 52: 224. 1995). These elements are taxonomically distinct, and with usage of the name being in the sense of Tournefort’s plant (for which no original element exists), the name may require proposing for conservation with a conserved type.
