Lectotype (Grierson in Dassanayake & Fosberg, Revised Handb. Fl. Ceylon 1: 201. 1980): Herb. Linn. No. 991.1 ( LINN) .

Generitype of Carpesium Linnaeus (vide Green, Prop. Brit. Bot.: 181. 1929).

Current name: Carpesium cernuum L. ( Asteraceae ).

Note: Jarvis & al. (Regnum Veg. 127: 30. 1993) wrongly listed C. abrotanoides L. as the generitype. Carpesium cernuum is the generitype.

Grierson’s typification was published in February 1980, predating the same choice made by Rechinger (Fl. Iranica 145: 127) in April 1980.
