(Reveal in Jarvis & al.,
Regnum Veg.
127: 93. 1993):
Clayton 97
(BM-000051150).
Generitype
of
Tetragonotheca
Linnaeus.
Current name:
Tetragonotheca helianthoides

(
Asteraceae
).
Note:
Turner & Dawson (in
Sida
8: 299. 1980) indicated that they had seen a photograph of "Gronovius 301", which they regarded as the type. However,
Gronovius 301
is associated with
Heuchera americana
, and there is no p. 301 in
Gronovius'
Flora Virginica
.
Reveal's
choice of
Clayton 97
(BM) as type is accepted here.
