Agrimonia eupatoria subsp. major stat. nov. (Rosaceae) and notes on the Agrimonia eupatoria aggregate

The name Agrimonia eupatoria subsp. major stat. nov. (Rosaceae) is proposed. A lectoptype and isolectotype are proposed for the Boissier’s basionym on the basis of the examination of type materials and other specimens. For the nomenclatural purposes the names A. graeca ( nom. inval. according to the Art. 36.1c of the ICN), A. eupatoria sensu stricto (lectotype at LINN), A. eupatoria subsp. grandis (neotype at FI, designated in this paper), “ A. eupatoria var. grandis ” by Vollmann (isonym, Art. 6.3 Notes2 of the ICN) and “ A. grandis ” by Dobroczajeva (isonym, Art. 6.3 Notes2 of the ICN) are also discussed. A morphological comparison among the taxa included in the Agrimonia eupatoria aggregate, as well as a diagnostic key, are also given.
