Typification des taxons corses de I'herbier de Litardiere

摘要

The Litardiere herbarium (depositedin G) contains many types that have previously been overlooked. The aim Of this work was to identify all the new Corsican taxa then to extract all the type specimens from Corsica present in that herbarium and reported by Litardiere and other botanists. 97 new Corsican taxa have been identified, and for 91 taxa, 135 type specimens (including duplicates) were found. This type material has been carefully typified as 36 holo-, 49 lecto-, 2 isolecto- and 47 syntypes. 45 taxa were described by 'R. de Litardiere himself, 30 by K. H. Zahn (for Hieracium L:), 9 by J. L. van Soest (for Taraxacani F.H. Wigg.)and 13 by other botanists (J. Arenes, J. M. C. Arvet-Touvet, J. Gamisans, R. Maire, K. Ronniger, G. Rouy, A. Saint-Yves and T. G. Yuncker). These taxa belong to 20 families and 33 genera, but about the half (48) belong to Asteraceae, and are essentially species-from Taraxacum and Hieracium.
