Achillea cretica Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 2: 899. 1753.

"Habitat in Creta." RCN: 6509.

Lectotype (Valant-Vetschera in Taxon 44: 95, f. 2. 1995): Herb. Burser VII(1): 71 (UPS) .

Current name: Achillea cretica L. ( Asteraceae).

Note: Huber-Morath (in Ber. Schweiz. Bot. Ges. 84: 149. 1975) indicated unspecified Tournefort material as type but such material (assuming it was at P) would not have been studied by Linnaeus and would not be original material for the name.
