Conyza candida Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 2: 862. 1753. "Habitat in Creta." RCN: 6229. Lectotype (Greuter in Willdenowia 33: 242. 2003): [icon] " Jacobaea Cretica incana integro limonii fol. " in Barrelier, Pl. Galliam: 95, t. 217. 1714. - Epitype (Greuter in Willdenowia 33: 243. 2003): Greece. Crete, Gramvousa, Kissamos, in latere austro-orientali arcis veterae, 50-100m, 25 Jul 1973, Stamatiadou 17335 in Soc. Ech. Pl. Vasc. Eur. Occid. Bassin Médit. No. 7061 (G; iso- widely distributed). Current name: Inula candida (L.) Cass. (Asteraceae). Note: Lacaita (in Nuovo Giorn. Bot. Ital., n.s., 28: 127-132. 1921) provided a detailed discussion of most of the original elements (though he failed to trace the Clifford material), and the confusion resulting from Linnaeus’ later (1763) modification of his species concept. Greuter (in Boissiera 13: 140. 1967) designated a Tournefort polynomial (acceptable under the Code in force at that time) as lectotype, wrongly interpreted by Kit Tan & al. (in Taxon 52: 358. 2003) as a typification using Tournefort material in Paris. Greuter (2003) refuted this interpretation and formally designated a lectotype and epitype.
