Aster tripolium Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 2: 872. 1753.

"Habitat in Europae littoribus maritimis & ad Sibiriae lacus salsos." RCN: 6317.

Lectotype (Brandenburg in Jarvis & Turland in Taxon 47: 355. 1998): Herb. Linn. No. 997.14 (LINN) .

Current name: Tripolium pannonicum (Jacq.) Schur subsp. tripolium (L.) Greuter ( Asteraceae).

Note: Grierson (in Rechinger, Fl. Iranica 154: 6. 1982) indicated 997.15 (LINN) as type but this sheet lacks the relevant Species Plantarum number (i.e. “4”) and is a later addition to the herbarium, and not original material for the name. Brandenburg therefore designated a different sheet as lectotype.
