Chapter 7: Linnaean Plant Names and their Types (part B) Author Jarvis, Charlie Department of Botany, Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, London, UK text 2007 Linnaean Society of London in association with the Natural History Museum London Order out of Chaos. Linnaean Plant Types and their Types 343 369 book chapter https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.291971 978-0-9506207-7-0 291971 Bidens nivea Linnaeus , Species Plantarum 2 : 833. 1753 . "Habitat in Carolina." RCN: 6025. Lectotype (Parks in Rhodora 75: 184. 1973): [icon] " Bidens scabra flore niveo, folio trilobato " in Dillenius, Hort. Eltham. 1: 55, t. 47, f. 55. 1732. Current name: Melanthera nivea (L.) Small ( Asteraceae ). Note: Reveal & al. (in Bartonia 56: 19. 1990) have argued that only part of the Dillenius illustration designated as the lectotype by Parks was cited under the supposedly "typical" part of Linnaeus' protologue, arguing for restriction of the type to a single leaf. However, this seems unhelpful and recent authors such as Strother (in Daniel, Fl. Chiapas 5: 73. 1999) and Wagner & Robinson (in Brittonia 53: 557. 2002) follow Parks.
