Aster sibiricus Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 2: 872. 1753.

"Habitat in Sibiria." RCN: 6316.

Lectotype (Semple in Jarvis & Turland in Taxon 47: 354. 1998): Herb. Linn. No. 997.13 (LINN) .

Current name: Aster sibiricus L. ( Asteraceae).

Note: Gray (in Proc. Amer. Acad. Arts 17: 164. 1882) noted two Gmelin collections (997.12 and 997.13) in LINN, and Jones & Hiepko (in Willdenowia 11: 350. 1981) referred to the lectotype being in LINN but without distinguishing between the two sheets. Semple’s appears to be the first explicit type choice.
