Rubus hirtus Waldst. & Kit.

Categorie:

Rubus hirtus Waldstein & Kitaibel. A lectotype was published in Gorteria 24 (1) 23f (1998): 'leg. Wolny in herb. Kitaibel nr.4414, fasc.64/XV; BP'.

The same specimen was already published as a lectotype by Dezsö Kováts in the Annales Historico-Naturales Musei Naturalis Hungarici 84: 48 (1992) so that this is the correct publication of the lectotype.

With thanks to Zoltán Barina who sent me the details.
