Allium vineale Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 1: 299. 1753. "Habitat in Germania." RCN: 2365. Neotype (de Wilde-Duyfjes in Taxon 22: 88. 1973): Herb. Bauhin, "Porrum sylvestre gemino capite" (BAS). Current name: Allium vineale L. (Liliaceae / Alliaceae). Note: There appear to be no original elements and so de Wilde-Duyfjes’ choice of a neotype (though she termed it a lectotype) is correctable under Art. 9.8 and is accepted as valid. Pastor & Valdés (in Revis. Gen. Allium Penins. Iber. Islas Baleares: 743. 1983) correctly point out that the Bauhin material is ineligible as a lectotype because Linnaeus never saw it, and discuss the absence of relevant Burser material. They appear to accept a Haller plate as the type but there is in fact no figure corresponding with the cited polynomial, only a similar one relating to a species described by Haller on p. 23 (not p. 11) of his Allium account.
