Type not designated.

Original material: Herb. Linn. No. 965.5 (LINN); Herb. Linn. No. 370.11 (S); Herb. Linn. No. 291 (LAPP); [icon] in Gmelin, Fl. Sibirica 2: 67, t. 26. 1752; [icon] in Plukenet, Phytographia: t. 154, f. 3. 1692; Almag. Bot.: 83. 1696 - Voucher: Herb. Sloane 95: 143 (BM-SL).

Note: Although Lipshits (Rod Saussurea: 225. 1979) indicated unspecified and unseen material in LINN as “typus”, this statement does not distinguish between sheets 965.5 and 965.6 (which are not part of a single gathering, so Art. 9.15 does not apply).
