Sonchus plumieri Linnaeus, Systema Naturae, ed. 10, 2: 1192. 1759.

["Habitat in Pyrenaeis: Monte Aureo prope Carthusiam majorem. Monnier."] Sp. Pl., ed. 2, 2: 1117 (1763). RCN: 5810.

Lectotype ( Wegmüller in Jarvis & Turland in Taxon 47: 368. 1998): Herb. Linn. No. 949.10 (LINN) .

Current name: Lactuca plumieri (L.) Gren. & Godr. ( Asteraceae).

Note: Wegmüller (in Bot. Jahrb. Syst. 116: 189. 1994) incorrectly typified the name using an illustration from Kirschleger (who had recombined the Linnaean name in Cicerbita), rather than an element from the Linnaean protologue. He superseded this earlier choice with a new typification in 1998.
