Eupatorium maculatum
Linnaeus
,
Centuria I Plantarum
: 27. 1755
.
"Habitat in America septentrionali." RCN: 6065.
Lectotype
(Wiegand in
Rhodora
22: 59. 1920):
Kalm
, Herb. Linn. No. 978.15 (
LINN
)
.
Current name:
Eupatorium maculatum
L.
(
Asteraceae
).
Note:
Although Mackenzie (in
Rhodora
29: 8. 1927) maintained that this Kalm material could not have been the basis for the name, this seems incorrect and
Wiegand's
type choice is accepted here. Lamont (in
Mem. New York Bot. Gard.
72: 36. 1995) recognised
E. maculatum
L.
as a species distinct from
E. purpureum
L.
He also illustrated the type (as f. 25).
