Topic: New taxon

Don't get to do this very often.

Can you please add the following vascular plant taxon, a newly arrived Duckweed, recently confirmed by our County Recorder

Lemna turionifera Landolt 1975

Thanks

Re: New taxon

Hi Rob

That has been added now:
Lemna turionifera Landolt tvk NHMSYS0021003249

I'm also investigating the provenance of "Lemna turionifolia Landolt" because I suspect that this is a synonym or ill-formed name, which could be synonymised with your name.

Best wishes,
Chris R.

Re: New taxon

No problem - you might like to know that I did eventually synonymise turionifolia under turionifera because there seemed little doubt that it was a typo or old synonym :)
