Lavandula pinnata (sometimes called fernleaf lavender [citation needed]) is a species of flowering plant in the mint family, Lamiaceae, native to southern Madeira and the Canary Islands (Lanzarote). It was first described in 1780.[1]
Description
Lavandula pinnata is a small shrub with opposite, simple, pinnately dissected leaves, and square stems. The flowers are purple, borne in summer.[citation needed]
Taxonomy
(As of February 2018), the original authorship of the name "Lavandula pinnata" varies by source. The World Checklist of Selected Plant Families attributes the name to Johan Daniel Lundmark in 1780,[1] a view followed by The Plant List and Tropicos. GRIN Taxonomy and the African Plant Database attribute the name to the younger Carl Linnaeus (1780); the International Plant Names Index has the same attribution, but without a date, as well as noting the use of the name by Conrad Moench in 1802.
