Coreopsis lanceolata Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 2: 908. 1753. "Habitat in Carolina." RCN: 6564. Lectotype (Smith in Sida 6: 141. 1976): [icon] " Bidens caroliniana, florum radiis latissimis, insigniter dentatis, semine alato per maturitatem convoluto " in Martyn, Hist. Pl. Rar.: 26, t. 26. 1728. Generitype of Coreopsis Linnaeus (vide Green, Prop. Brit. Bot.: 183. 1929). Current name: Coreopsis lanceolata L. (Asteraceae). Note: Smith incorrectly described the Martyn plate as a neotype. However, as it was an original element for the name, this is a valid typification under Art. 9.8, despite the fact that some later authors (e.g. Reveal in Jarvis & al., Regnum Veg. 127: 37. 1993; Hind in Bosser & al., Fl. Mascareignes 109: 196. 1993) have indicated a Clifford sheet as the lectotype.
