Typification of names published by Schultz “Bipontinus” in the Andryala pinnatifida complex (Cichorieae, Asteraceae), from the Canary Islands

Abstract

Schultz “Bipontinus” (1805-1867) described, in the Histoire Naturelle des Îles Canaries published by Webb and Berthelot in 1849, several forms of the Andryala pinnatifida complex, endemic to the Canary Islands, based on plant material collected by E. Bourgeau and P. B. Webb. In order to facilitate a forthcoming taxonomic revision of this species complex, some of the names established by Schultz “Bipontinus” are here lectotypified based on protologue analysis and the examination of original material located at P and FI-W herbaria.
