Abstract
Jeanmonod, D. (2018). Typification of the corsican names of taxa of the Burnat Herbarium (G-BU). Candollea 73: 61–74. In French, English and French abstracts. DOI: http//dx.doi.org/10.1553/c2018v731a6The Burnat herbarium (G-BU) is essential for the study of the Corsican flora but remains poorly known. A search for all the new names for Corsica and the associated original material used by various authors for their descriptions and present in this closed herbarium was carried out by various methods. Ninety eight names of taxa from Corsica were highlighted and 197 herbarium collections considered as original material were located. They correspond to the description of 9 species, 88 infraspecific taxa and 1 hybrid belonging to a broad taxonomic spectrum (26 families and 56 genera). Thirteen authors made these descriptions, mainly John Briquet (66 taxa), Eduard Hackel (7), Casimir Arvet-Touvet (6) and Rene Verriet de Litardiere (5). Among the type specimens, 48 are holotypes, 44 are lectotypes of which 39 are designated in the article, 7 are isotypes and the remaining represents syntypes. The exhaustive list of these names of taxa, their respective typification as well as their currently accepted names are provided.
