Xeranthemum vestitumLinnaeus, Species Plantarum2: 858. 1753.
"Habitat in Aethiopia." RCN: 6195.
Lectotype(designated here by Nordenstam): [icon] " Xeranthemum frutescens, lanuginosum, foliis longis, mollibus, flore argenteo, amplissimo" in Burman, Rar. Afric. Pl.: 177, t. 66, f. 1. 1739.
Note:Hilliard & Burtt (in Bot. J. Linn. Soc.82: 251, 254. 1981) designated 990.3 (LINN) as lectotype. However, it lacks the relevant Species Plantarumnumber (i.e. "3"), is a post-1753 addition to the collection, and is not original material for the name.
