About Delphinium cuneatum Steven ex DC.

Note: Burtt (in Kew Bull. 9: 68. 1954) said that 'The true D. hybridum, of which there is a specimen in the Linnean herbarium, is the same as D. cuneatum Stev.' Later, Chowdhuri and others (in Notes Roy. Bot. Gard. Edinburgh 22: 404. 1958) stated that 'the specimen in the Linnaean herbarium ... must be accepted as the type', but they did not differentiate between 694.9 and 694.10 (LINN). They rejected the name as a nomen confusum. The name does not seem to be in use and should likely be a candidate for formal rejection.
