ID remarks:
Vinca major was treated as the generitype by Britton & Brown (Ill. Fl. N. U. S., ed. 2, 3: 20. 1913). However, under Art. 10.5, Ex. 7 (a voted example) of the Vienna Code, this is a type choice made under the American Code and is to be replaced under Art. 10.5b by Hitchcock's choice (Prop. Brit. Bot.: 136. 1929) of V. minor L.
Location remarks:
"Habitat in Gallia Narbonensi, Hispania."
