Notes. – Virgilia L’Hér. (Asteraceae) was rejected against Virgilia Poir. by the VI IBC held in Amsterdam ( GREEN, 1940: 105) based on a proposal by REHDER et al. (1935).

A specimen in G-DC originating from the L’Héritier herbarium is designated here as the lectotype of Virgilia helioides .

CANDOLLE (1836: 651–652) quoted the engraving included in L’Heritier’s Reliquiae when writing his account of the genus Gaillardia Foug. , the name he accepted for Virgilia L’Hér.
