Interpretation and typification of Cactus ficus-indica L. and Opuntia ficus-indica (L.) Miller (Cactaceae)

The taxonomic history of the controversial names Cactus ficus-indica and Opuntia ficus-indica (Cactaceae) is discussed. An analysis of the changing interpretation of these names demonstrates the necessity of formal typification in order to achieve nomenclatural stability. A specimen in the Linnaean...

description	The taxonomic history of the controversial names Cactus ficus-indica and Opuntia ficus-indica (Cactaceae) is discussed. An analysis of the changing interpretation of these names demonstrates the necessity of formal typification in order to achieve nomenclatural stability. A specimen in the Linnaean herbarium at Stockholm is designated as the neotype of C. ficus-indica. By interpreting this name as the basionym of O. ficus-indica, the long-established name of the commercially most important cactus species can be saved.
