Name

• Melocactus caroli-linnaei N.P.Taylor, Bradleya 9: 78. 1991.
  • Lectotype: "Echinomelocactos" in Clusius, Exot. Libri, 92, 92, 1605, vide Heath (1994).

Synonymy

• Homotypic
  • Cactus melocactus L., Sp. Pl. 466. 1753.
  • Melocactus melocactus (L.) H.Karst., Deut. Fl. 888. 1892, nom. inval.
  • Melocactus intortus subsp. broadwayi (Britton & Rose) Guiggi in Atti Soc. Ital. Sci. Nat. Mus. Civico Storia Nat. Milano 147: 338. 2006 syn. sec. Kew WCVP (2019)

Note:

Taylor (1991) designated a neotype but this is contrary to Art. 9.11, as original material is in existence. Mottram (1993) designated a Tournefort plate, not cited by Linnaeus and hence not original material either, as the lectotype, and Heath's therefore appears to be the first acceptable type choice.
