Description

Anthemis altissima Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 2: 893. 1753.

"Habitat in Italiae, Hispaniae, G. Narbonensis agris. D. Sauvages." RCN: 6472.

Lectotype (Humphries in Jarvis & Turland in Taxon 47: 352. 1998): Magnol, Herb. Linn. No. 1016.2 (LINN).

Current name: Cota altissima (L.) J. Gay (Asteraceae).

Note: Although Iranshahr (in Rechinger, Fl. Iranica 158: 23. 1986) indicated 1016.3 (LINN) as “typus”, this material lacks a Species Plantarum number (i.e. “2”) and is a later addition to the herbarium, and not original material for the name. Recognising this, Humphries designated a different collection at LINN as lectotype.
