Adenocaulon bicolor W.J. Hooker, Botanical Miscellany 1(1): 19-20. Apr 1829. Plate XV.

Syntype material.

[Although the cover page of Botanical Miscellany volume 1 lists the publication date as 1830, according to Stafleu and Cowan (1979, page 290) it was published in three parts and part 1 (pages 1-96) was published in 1829]

Syntype 1. USA [Washington State], Dense forest of Straits of Juan de Fuca, and near Fort Vancouver and Columbia River, West coast of North America, [1824-1825], John Scouler s.n. [1017] [Lectotype: K! here designated; isolectotypes: E00230668*, NY00158065!; OXF* 00005489 (not yet available on JSTOR-GP)]

Scouler’s trip to Northwest USA was in 1824-1825 ( Vegter 1986) and the area between the Straits and Fort Vancouver and the Columbia River is in Washington State. The E specimen has "Scouler (1017)" written on it. Vegter (1986) also lists CGE as a possible location for an additional Scouler’s collection but none were found (pers. comm. C. Bartram).

Syntype 2. North America, in the Rocky Mountains, [1825-1827], Thomas Drummond s.n. [K! (not yet available on JSTOR-GP)]

Lanjouw and Stafleu (1954) reported that Drummond’s collections could also be in A, AWH, B, BM, CGE, DELS, DS, E, FI, G, G-DC, GH, GL, GOET, LD, OXF, P, PH, S, TCD, UC, UMO, UPS, US (not found), W (not found), WU]. They also said that Drummond was in North America 1825-1827 and that he made a second trip 1831-1835 but the latter trip was after the species was described. Stafleu and Cowan (1976) report that the location of Drummond’s original herbarium is unknown but indicate that BM & K have the best sets of his plants.

Adenocaulon integrifolium T. Nuttall, Transactions of the American Philosophical Society, New Series 7[1]: 289. 1841. Type material: United States, Oregon, Shady woods of the Wahlamet, near its confluence with the Oregon, [1834], T. Nuttall, s.n. [Holotype: GH00000615*; isotypes: K! (not yet available on JSTOR-GP); PH00224269*]

Vegter (1983) listed the date of the expedition as 1834 and said that additional material might have been sent to LIV (not found) and NY (not found). Bittmann (1990a) listed PHIL as the location of an isotype but it appears that this refers to the isotype at PH which was annotated by Bittmann (E. Benamy, pers. com.). According to Stafleu and Cowan (1981, page 786) the prologue was contained in part 1 of volume 7 and published on 12 May 1841.
