Xeranthemum annuum Linnaeus var. orientale Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 2: 858. 1753.

RCN: 6194.

Neotype (Hilliard & Burtt in Bot. J. Linn. Soc. 82: 249. 1981): Herb. Tournefort No. 4768 (P-TOURN) .

Current name: Chardinia orientalis (L.) Kuntze ( Asteraceae).

Note: Although Linnaeus did not study Tournefort’s herbarium, and the sheet indicated as the type by Hilliard & Burtt is not original material for the name, the absence of any original material means that Hilliard & Burtt’s choice can be treated as a neotypification (under Art. 9.8).
