Taxonomy

Lithospermum tuberosum was first described in Volume 10 of Prodromus Systematis Naturalis Regni Vegetabilis . The volume was edited by Alphonse Pyramus de Candolle and published in 1846. [1] In his description, de Candolle attributed the name to Ferdinand Rugel. [5] As of December 2024, Lithospermum tuberosumRugel ex A.DC. is a widely accepted name. [6] [7] [8]
