REMARKS

The lectotype (LY-Jordan) is a large sample with several flowering stems with immature heads. This specimen is labelled by Bourgeau as S. rosmarinifolia Mill. It has Jordan’s notation indicating “linearifolia”. This sheet is also labelled by D. Rivera as “ Santolina linearifolia [underlined] Jord. et Fourr. // LECTOTYPUS [underlined] // 18-10-1984 ”. It has the following stamp: “ HERBIER JORDAN // Faculté Catholique Lyon // dep. in LY ” .

Two specimens ( LY-JORDAN, “ 1 ère feuille ” and “ 2 ème feuille ”) from “ Placencia , 1863, Bourgeau s. n., jard. VII.1868, Jordan ” are labelled as S. linearifolia , one of them with the following notation by D. Rivera: “ Santolina linearifolia [underlined] Jord. et Fourr. // TYPUS [underlined]”. However, it does not match the locus classicus of this name .

The further five specimens of S. linearifolia with the number 3951, gathered by Jordan in July (1868, 1869) in the Botanical Garden of Lyon, are preserved in LY-BONAPARTE. Three of them are from Placencia, and the others have no locality. Another specimen is preserved in LY-GANDOGER: “Cáceres: Plasencia ( Espagne), Cult. À Lyon, fl. 9 juillet 1869 ”.The specimens of S. linearifolia from the collections of Bonaparte, Gandoger and Jordan evolved from achenes cultivated in the Botanical Garden of Lyon from the original collection of Bourgeau.

The specimen from Placencia (LY-JORDAN, MPU) was labelled as Santolina linearifolia and cultivated in the Botanical Garden of Lyon “Cult. à Lyon / fl. 9 juillet 1869 ”. This sheet has other label with the following handwritten notation of “D. Rivera”: “¿¿¿ Santolina linearifolia Jord. et Fourr. ??? // ?? // ¿Confusion d’étiquette? // voir icônes n° 236 (double underlined) // 18-10-84”. This specimen is the same as S. chamaecyparissus from the Pyrénées mountains.

The specimens show the characteristics listed in the protologue “ S. capitulis hemisphaericis , crassiusculis; involucri concavi, basi subtruncata umbilicati, glabri foliolis lanceolatis, acuminatis, dorso valde carinatis, interioribus praesertim superne margine scarioso subrotundato lateraliter producto lacerodenticulato latiuscule cinctis: flosculis vivide luteis, exterioribus geniculato recurvis involucrum omnino occultantibus; foliis numerosis, suberectis erectisve, anguste linearibus, acutis, supra medium bifariam laxe brevissimeque tuberculato-denticulatis, superioribus integris, glabris, viridulis, caulium hornotinorum cinereo-glaucescentibus axillaribus conspicue brevioribus erecto-adpressis; caulibus elongatis, erectis vel basi leviter ascendentibus, striatis, glabris, apice nudis plerumque monocephalis sed tamen ramulos graciles nonnunquam gerentibus, e caudice ramoso fruticoso productis ”.
