Mentha spicata
'Crispa'
Riddelsdell cited “var.
crispa
Hook.”, which traces back to
M. viridis
var.
crispa
in Hooker’s Student fl. Brit. Isl., ed. 3:316 (1884); he also followed Britten & Rendle's List Brit. seed-pl. ferns 22 (1907), which listed
M. viridis
as a synonym of
M. spicata
; taken together, these constitute an indirect reference to the description for the
M. viridis
var.
crispa
Benth., nom. illeg., adopted by Hooker (
Shenzhen ICN
38.13); Riddelsdell's name is an illegitimate nom. nov. because the epithet
crispata
should have been adopted and under
Shenzhen ICN
7.5 and 7.8,
M. spicata
var.
crispa
is typified by the type of
M. crispata
