Jarvis, Charlie, 2007, Chapter 7: Linnaean Plant Names and their Types (part S), Order out of Chaos. Linnaean Plant Types and their Types, London: Linnaean Society of London in association with the Natural History Museum, pp. 806-877 : 840

Senecio longifolius Linnaeus , Species Plantarum, ed. 2, 2: 1222. 1763, nom. illeg.

"Habitat ad Cap. b. spei. Burmannus." RCN: 6303.

Replaced synonym: Senecio linifolius L. (1759) non (L.) L. (1763).

Lectotype (Wijnands, Bot. Commelins: 82. 1983): Herb. Burman ( G) .

Current name: Senecio linifolius L. ( Asteraceae ).

Note: This appears to be an illegitimate replacement name for Senecio linifolius L. (1759) , the change being made in 1763 to avoid homonymy with Senecio linifolius (L.) L. (1763) , which was based on Solidago linifolia L. (1753) . Senecio linifolius (L.) L. (1763) is a heterotypic, later homonym of Senecio linifolius L. (1759) , and therefore illegitimate.
