Pruski Pruski Linnaeus 1753 Magnoliopsida Asteraceae Sphagneticola Plantae Asterales Tracheophyta species calendulacea      Verbesina calendulaceaLinnaeus,  Species Plantarum2: 902. 1753.  "Habitat in Zeylona." RCN: 6524.   Lectotype(Grierson in Dassanayake & Fosberg, Revised Handb. Fl. Ceylon1: 215. 1980; Pruski in Novon6: 411. 1996): Herb. Hermann 1: 73, No. 311 (BM-000594505; iso-BM, Herb. Hermann 2: 16; 3: 21; 4: 43).   Note:Grierson (in Dassanayake & Fosberg, Revised Handb. Fl. Ceylon1: 215. 1980) indicated material in Herb. Hermann ( BM)as type but did not distinguish between the various specimens scattered between four volumes. However, as these appear to be part of a single gathering, Art. 9.15 applies so Grierson is the original typifier, with Pruski subsequently restricting the earlier choice.
