Jarvis, Charlie, 2007, Chapter 7: Linnaean Plant Names and their Types (part K), Order out of Chaos. Linnaean Plant Types and their Types, London: Linnaean Society of London in association with the Natural History Museum, pp. 608-609 : 608

Kalmia angustifolia Linnaeus , Species Plantarum 1: 391. 1753 .

"Habitat in Pensylvania, Nova Caesarea, Noveboraco." RCN: 3084.

Lectotype (Southall & Hardin in J. Elisha Mitchell Sci. Soc. 90: 18. 1974; Ebinger in Rhodora 76: 367. 1974): Herb. Linn. No. 560.2, right specimen ( LINN) .

Current name: Kalmia angustifolia L. ( Ericaceae ).

Note: Southall & Hardin (spring 1974) designated the material on sheet 560.2 (LINN), which comprises three specimens, as the type. However, later the same year (Sep 1974), Ebinger designated the right-hand specimen, only, as the lectotype. Ebinger’s choice is therefore treated as a restriction of the original typification made by Southall & Hardin. Annotations by Kalm on a sheet collected by him, and now in UPS, are reproduced by Lundqvist & Moberg (in Thunbergia 19: 7, f. 3. 1993).
