scientific name

Amanita muscaria
status

 

Agaricus muscarius Linnaeus , Species Plantarum 2: 1172. 1753.

"Habitat in Pratis." RCN: 8456.

Type not designated.

Original material: [icon] in Clusius, Rar. Pl. Hist. 2: 280. 1601.

Current name: Amanita muscaria (L.: Fr.) Hook. ( Pluteaceae).

Note: Taking the view that "taxonomists are under no obligation to reach into pre-Linnaean literature for selection of type material, type locality etc.", Jenkins & Petersen (in Mycologia 68: 463-469. 1976) designated a neotype from Sweden ( Ångermanland: Nordingrå Parish, Summer 1974, R.H. Petersen, TENN 39847) for this name. As a name sanctioned by Fries (Art. 13.1(d)), typification "may be effected in the light of anything associated with the name in that work" (Art. 7.8). However, as in this case that includes the Clusius plate cited in the protologue of A. muscarius L. (1753) , which is therefore original material for the name, their neotypification appears to be contrary to Art. 9.11.
