| Lagotis glauca subsp. lanceolata (Hultén) D.F. Murray & Elven | |
| Publ. & Syn. | ?Gymnandra stelleri Cham. & Schltdl., Linnaea 2: 563 (1827) [nom. illeg.]. Described from southeastern Siberia, leg. Pallas, and from Chukotka (the Russian Far East). - ?Lagotis glauca subsp. stelleri (Cham. & Schltdl.) Gjærev., Kongel. Norske Vidensk. Selsk. Skr. (Trondheim) 1967, 10: 30 (1967) [comb. inval.]. |
| Notes | The plants of Yana-Kolyma may belong to either subsp. lanceolata or subsp. minor. They have not been inspected. The name Gymnandra stelleri Ledeb. ex Spreng. 1825 may belong to this race but this will be difficult to decide because no type specimen is known and because the diagnosis does not fit our plant. The name Gymnandra stelleri Cham. & Schltdl. 1827 refers back to the same Pallas collection as the previous name and in addition to northern Chukotkan plants certainly belonging within this race, but is an illegitimate homonym. In addition, the diagnosis does not fit this race. The subspecific combination L. glauca subsp. stelleri Gjærev. 1967 is, in addition, invalid because of insufficient reference to the basionym. Instead of trying to validate the Gjærevoll subspecific combination by a sufficient reference to a basionym and designation of a lecto or neotype, we decided to raise Hultén's var. lanceolata to rank as subspecies. This name is based on an adequate diagnosis fitting our plant and an unambiguous type can be selected (even if we have not done so yet). |
