Species Kyllinga alata

For Peder Lauridsen Kylling (c 1640–1696), Danish botanist. He studied theology at the University of Copenhagen and briefly served as a parish minister before withdrawing from this profession to study botany. His major work is Viridarium Danicum (The Danish Garden) (1688), which describes some 1 100 species that occurred in the crown lands of the Danish king, mainly in Zealand, Justland and Slesvig. It is alleged that he was working on an even larger edition, but this book was not published.
