[Taxacom] Type specimens from plants under cultivation

[Weakley, Alan]

Clearly!  It should be made clear that it is from a cultivated plant and where that was grown, but also the original provenance of the cultivated plant (where the "true type location" is).  

Example:  "type grown in XX Botanical Garden, from seed collected at {details of location}"

Dear All

 

Apologies if this question is obvious but I couldn't find anything in any of the relevant books that I had to hand nor could I easily find anything on the internet.

 

If a type specimen is prepared from a living plant in cultivation (e.g. a botanic garden) of known wild provenance, rather than directly from a plant in the wild, what is the correct / best way of citing that specimen?

 

Many thanks.

 

Anthony
