Senecio sarracenicus Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 2: 871. 1753.

"Habitat in Helvetiae montanis, nemorosis." RCN: 6300.

Lectotype (Lacaita in Bull. Orto Bot. Regia Univ. Napoli 3: 284. 1913): Herb. Clifford: 410, Solidago 4 (BM-000647118) .

Current name: Senecio sarracenicus L. ( Asteraceae).

Note: Jeffrey & Chen Yi-Ling (in Kew Bull. 39: 362. 1984) and Herborg (in Diss. Bot. 107: 184. 1987) indicated 996.60 (LINN) as type, but this choice is pre-dated by that of Lacaita. Herborg recognises S. sarracenicus as a species distinct from S. nemorensis L. (into which Jeffrey & Chen place S. sarracenicus as a synonym).
