RCN: 6453.    Lectotype(Grierson in Davis in Notes Roy. Bot. Gard. Edinburgh33: 252. 1974): Herb. Clifford: 415,  Matricaria1 (BM-000647192).   Note:Applequist (in Taxon51: 757-761. 2003) gives a detailed review of the nomenclatural complexities associated with this name, and accepts Grierson'stype choice (a specimen of chamomile). Although both  M. chamomillaand  M. recutitaL.(which has also been used for the species) date from 1753, Applequist argues that  M. chamomillais the correct name, Visiani having been the first to combine the two in 1844. 2611895436 BM BM-000647192 lectotype
