REMARKS

Freyn & Sintenis in Freyn (1894) described Phaeopappus macrocephalus (synonym of Centaurea paphlagonica , not C. macrocephala Muss.Puschk. ex Willd., 1803 ) based on collections of Sintenis 4626 from Paphlagonia, but did not mention any specific sheet as the holotype nor the name of the herbarium where the specimens were housed. Twenty two herbarium specimens of collection number 4626 of Sintenis from Paphlagonia were found. Based on art. 40, note 1 ( McNeill et al. 2012) these must all be treated as syntypes. Of these, the sheet P00703840 is better preserved and more complete than the other specimens and best represents the species description given in the protologue; hence it is designated here as the lectotype.
