Anacyclus orientalis Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 2: 892. 1753.

"Habitat in Oriente." RCN: 6468.

Lectotype ( Franzén in Strid & Kit Tan, Mountain Fl. Greece 2: 428. 1991): Herb. Clifford: 417, Anacyclus 3 (BM-000647223) .

Current name: Anthemis orientalis (L.) Degen ( Asteraceae).

Note: Grierson (in Notes Roy. Bot. Gard. Edinburgh 33: 213. 1974), on the basis of the identity of Clifford material, rejected the name as a nomen confusum and (in Davis, Fl. Turkey 5: 193. 1975) consequently took up Anthemis pectinata (Bory & Chaub.) Boiss. & Reut, as the correct name. However, more recent authors have continued to use Anthemis orientalis .
