Typification and taxonomic characterization of Thymus longicaulis C. Presl (Lamiaceae).

摘要

Thymus longicaulis C. Presl, described from Sicily by Carl Borivoj Presl, is a critical Mediterranean species, often confused with other taxa belonging to Thymus sect. Serpyllum. In order to preserve the current application of this name, a lectotype is designated. We provide a detailed morphological description and information about its habitat, phenology, distribution and taxonomy.
