Lectotypification of three endemic taxa of Ammi L. (Apiaceae) from the archipelago of the Azores

Abstract

Lectotypes are designated here for taxa of the genus Ammi L. described by H.C. Watson from the Azores islands. The names Ammi huntii H.C. Watson, A. seubertianum (H.C. Watson) Benth. & Hook. f. ex Trel. and A. trifoliatum (H.C. Watson) Benth. & Hook. f. ex Trel. still remain untypified from their description. Those typifications constitute the starting point to further taxonomical studies on that aggregate.
