Osmites bellidiastrum Linnaeus , Plantae Rariores Africanae: 24. 1760, nom. inval.

["Habitat in Aethiopia."] Sp. Pl., ed. 2, 2: 1285. 1763. RCN: 6568.

Replaced synonym: Anthemis fruticosa L. (1756) ; A. bellidiastrum L. (1759) , nom. illeg.

Type not relevant.

Generitype of Osmites Linnaeus , nom. rej. (vide Bremer in Taxon 28: 412. 1979).

Current name: Relhania fruticosa (L.) K. Bremer ( Asteraceae ).

Note: Osmites Linnaeus , nom. rej. in favour of Relhania L’Héritier.

As Osmites L. was not published until 1764, O. bellidiastrum is an invalid name (and would in any case be an illegitimate name for Anthemis fruticosa L. (1756)) .
