Description

Gnaphalium odoratissimum Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 2: 855. 1753.

"Habitat - - –” RCN: 6175.

Lectotype (Hedberg in Symb. Bot. Upsal. 15(1): 201. 1957): [icon] " Elichrysum latifolium villosum, alato caule, odoratissimum " in Plukenet, Phytographia: t. 173, f. 6. 1692; Almag. Bot.: 134. 1696.

Current name: Helichrysum odoratissimum (L.) Sweet (Asteraceae).

Note: Hedberg’s type choice pre-dates type assessments made by Hilliard & Burtt (in Notes Roy. Bot. Gard. Edinburgh 32: 353. 1973), who indicated 989.49, 989.50 and 989.51 (LINN) as types. The same authors (in Bot. J. Linn. Soc. 82: 245, 253. 1981) designated 989.48 as lectotype, but this collection lacks the Species Plantarum number (i.e. “27”), was a post-1753 addition to the collection, and is not original material for the name.
