The genus Linum Linnaeus (1753: 277) consists of about 200 species distributed in temperate and tropical regions of the world. The Mediterranean area can be considered one of the centers of diversity of this genus (Greuter et al. 1989, Yilmaz et al. 2003, Yilmaz & Kaynak 2008, 2010, Tugay et al. 2010, Peruzzi 2011, Ruiz-Martin et al. 2015). Linnaeus described 23 species of Linum (Linnaeus 1753, 1754, 1762) and most of them have been already typified (Jarvis 2007, Ferrer-Gallego 2014). As part of an ongoing taxonomic study of Linum campanulatum Linnaeus (1753: 280), we here present a nomenclatural investigation of this name which appears to be as yet untypified.

Abstract
The genus Linum Linnaeus (1753: 277) consists of about 200 species distributed in temperate and tropical regions of the world. The Mediterranean area can be considered one of the centers of diversity of this genus (Greuter et al. 1989, Yilmaz et al. 2003, Yilmaz & Kaynak 2008, 2010, Tugay et al. 2010, Peruzzi 2011, Ruiz-Martin et al. 2015). Linnaeus described 23 species of Linum (Linnaeus 1753, 1754, 1762) and most of them have been already typified (Jarvis 2007, Ferrer-Gallego 2014). As part of an ongoing taxonomic study of Linum campanulatum Linnaeus (1753: 280), we here present a nomenclatural investigation of this name which appears to be as yet untypified.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
