Polygala nicaeensis fm. coerulea Briq.
Abstract
Polygala nicaeensis f. coerulea Briq. in Briq. & Litard., Prodr. Fl. Corse 2 (2): 61. 1936 Type. France. “ de Solenzara à Porto-Vecchio, entre Ste Lucie et la Trinité, 80 m ”, 4 May 1907, J. I. Briquet, Saint-Yves et Cavillier s. n. (lectotype, designated by Jeanmonod 2018: 68; G-BU [G 00830051]!). Based on the morphological features of the lectotype, we confirm P. nicaeensis f. albiflora as a heterotypic synonym of P. corsica, as circumscribed in this study. This confirms the interpretation of the type already made by Jeanmonod (2018), that considers this form as a heterotypic synonym of P. pedemontana, that is, in turn, a synonym of P. corsica, as circumscribed in this study.
