Le nom de Tulipa agenesis (tulipe d'Agen) fut attribué en 1804 par A.P. de Candolle grand botaniste suisse [...] Jean Florimont Boudon de Saint-Amans grand spécialiste de la flore agenaise [...] l'a baptisée [ensuite] Tulipa oculus solis (tulipe œil du soleil) car il avait appris [...] que cette tulipe fort répandue en Italie portait le sobriquet d'ochio di sole (œil du soleil). [D'après] les récentes réformes de la nomenclature internationale fixant les règles strictes de dénomination [...] seul le nom donné à la première description botanique d'une plante [est] valable. C'est la dénomination de De Candolle qui a la priorité sur celle de Saint-Amans : Tulipa agensis DC 1804 (=T. oculus solis S. Amans 1804). 1, record 1, French, - tulipe%20d%27Agen
