| Remarks | Persoon (vol. 1: preface x, paragraph 3) mentioned that his varieties and subspecies are assigned * sign. B. Boivin (in Brittonia 14: 330. 1962) noted that in Persoon's work, his subspecies have * sign, whereas his varieties have Greek letters. He treated most of his infrageneric names at the rank of subgenus (vide preface ix, paragraph 2 ("Melius autem judicavi, eas species (nonnullis forte tamen excipiendis) ab aliis leviter in charactere aberrantes, imprimis si genus minus amplum sit, sub divisione peculiari aut subgenere, quo etiam nonnula Botanicorum recentium genera relata sunt, comprehendere, ne ultra necessitatem genera multiplicentur") and index title in vol. 1, p. 527 ("Index Generum, subgenerum, nominum Familiae plantarum et synonymorum generum praecipuorum")). [See George K. Brizicky, Taxon 18(4): 646, 649. 1969]. |
