Senecio longifolius Linnaeus, Species Plantarum, ed. 2, 2: 1222. 1763, nom. illeg.

"Habitat ad Cap. b. spei. Burmannus." RCN: 6303.

Replaced synonym: Senecio linifolius L. (1759) non (L.) L. (1763).

Lectotype (Wijnands, Bot. Commelins: 82. 1983): Herb. Burman (G) .

Current name: Senecio linifolius L. ( Asteraceae).

Note: This appears to be an illegitimate replacement name for Senecio linifolius L. (1759), the change being made in 1763 to avoid homonymy with Senecio linifolius (L.) L. (1763), which was based on Solidago linifolia L. (1753) . Senecio linifolius (L.) L. (1763) is a heterotypic, later homonym of Senecio linifolius L. (1759), and therefore illegitimate.
