Description

Aster laevis Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 2: 876. 1753.

"Habitat in America septentrionali. Kalm." RCN: 6337.

Lectotype (Scott in Bosser & al., Fl. Mascareignes 109: 111. 1993): Kalm, Herb. Linn. No. 997.44 (LINN).

Current name: Aster laevis L. (Asteraceae).

Note: Although Gray (in Proc. Amer. Acad. Arts 17: 166. 1882) stated that this was "described wholly from his [Kalm’s] specimen", this wording is not effective in typifying the name.
