Pelargonium radicatum Vent., Jard. Malmaison

Callmander, Martin W., Durbin, Olivier D., Lack, Hans-Walter, Bungener, Patrick, Martin, Pascal & Gautier, Laurent, 2017, Etienne-Pierre Ventenat (1757 - 1808) and the gardens of Cels and Empress Joséphine, Candollea 72 (1), pp. 87-132 : 110

55. Pelargonium radicatum Vent., Jard. Malmaison 2: tab. 65. 1804.

Typus: [ SOUTH AFRICA]: Hort. Malmaison, Ventenat s.n. (holo-: G [G00341658]!) ( Fig. 9 ).

= Geranium ciliatum Andrews in Bot. Repos. 4: tab. 247. 1802 [nom. illeg.] [non G. ciliatum Cav. ].

Notes. – Ventenat in Jardin de Malmaison (1804: tab. 65) cited the later homonym Geranium ciliatum Andrews as a synonym of his Pelargonium radicatum . We consider Ventenat’s name as independent of Andrews’ illegitimate name and not as a replacement name. We therefore consider the collection in the Ventenat herbarium as the holotype.
