Treatment

Tragopogon pratensis Linnaeus View in CoL , Species Plantarum 2: 789. 1753.

"Habitat in Europae pratis apricis." RCN: 5779.

Lectotype ( Díaz de la Guardia & Blanca in Taxon 41: 548. 1992): Herb. Burser XV(2): 63 ( UPS) .

Current name: Tragopogon pratensis L. subsp. pratensis View in CoL ( Asteraceae ).

Note: Specific epithet spelled “pratense” in the protologue. Although 77 pratensis has historically been treated as the generitype (e.g. by Britton & Brown, Ill. Fl. N.U.S. ed. 2, 3: 313. 1913; Green, Prop. Brit. Bot.: 177. 1930), Díaz de la Guardia & Blanca in Jarvis & al., Regnum Veg. 127: 95 (1993) designated T. porrifolius as type in its place. They rejected the earlier choice on the grounds that T. pratensis has five involucral bracts, conflicting with the eight described in Linnaeus’ generic protologue.
