Cacalia suffruticosaLinnaeus, Systema Naturae, ed. 12, 2: 535; Mantissa Plantarum: 109. 1767, nom. illeg.
"Habitat in Brasilia. Arduini." RCN: 6035.
Replaced synonym: Cacalia linifoliaArd. (1764).
Type not designated.
Note:Linnaeus cited, as a synonym, an account of the species published by Arduino in 1764, in which the binomial C. linifoliaArd. was adopted. Linnaeus'name is therefore illegitimate. Johnson (in Univ. Kansas Sci. Bull.48: 239. 1968) wrongly cited this as " Cacalia linifoliaL." as published in Mant. Pl.: 109. 1767, though the epithet clearly came from Arduino. Johnson stated that he had seen a photo "of type from Linnean herbarium". Presumably this is likely to have been 976.2 (LINN) - Arduino 20 -with the epithets "fruticulosa", and "suffruticosa"added by Smith. However, further study would be necessary to establish its link with Arduino'sname.
