Xeranthemum speciosissimum Linnaeus , Species Plantarum 2: 858, Add. 1753.

"Habitat in Aethiopia [in Addenda]." RCN: 6196.

Lectotype (designated here by Nordenstam): [icon] " Xeranthemum , tomentosum, latifolium, flore maximo " in Burman, Rar. Afric. Pl.: 178, t. 66, f. 2. 1739.

Current name: Syncarpha speciosissima (L.) B. Nord. ( Asteraceae ).

Note: Hilliard & Burtt (in Bot. J. Linn. Soc. 82: 251. 1981) designated 990.5 (LINN) as lectotype. However, it lacks the relevant Species Plantarum number (i.e. “4”), is a post-1753 addition to the collection, and is not original material for the name.
