Description

Rudbeckia laciniata Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 2: 906. 1753.

"Habitat in Virginia, Canada." RCN: 6550.

Type not designated.

Original material: [icon] in Cornut, Canad. Pl. Hist.: 178, 179. 1635; [icon] in Morison, Pl. Hist. Univ. 3: 22, s. 6, t. 6, f. 53, 54. 1699.

Generitype of Rudbeckia Linnaeus (vide Green, Prop. Brit. Bot.: 183. 1929).

Current name: Rudbeckia laciniata L. (Asteraceae).

Note: Rudbeckia hirta L. was treated as the generitype by Britton & Brown (Ill. Fl. N. U. S., ed. 2, 3: 469. 1913; see McNeill & al. in Taxon 36: 382. 1987). However, under Art. 10.5, Ex. 7 (a voted example) of the Vienna Code, this is a type choice made under the American Code and is to be replaced under Art. 10.5b by Green’s choice (Prop. Brit. Bot.: 183. 1929) of R. laciniata L.

Fernald & Schubert (in Rhodora 50: 171. 1948) referred to a "photograph of the TYPE" but did not indicate which of the possible collections in London (Clifford, Clayton or LINN) it might be. Jarvis & al. (Regnum Veg. 127: 83. 1993) erroneously attributed typification to Fernald & Schubert.
