Matricaria inodora
Linnaeus
,
Flora Suecica
, ed. 2
: 297. 1755
.
"Habitat juxta agros, vias, plateas, minus frequens, quam praecedens." RCN: 6437.
Basionym of:
Chrysanthemum inodorum
(L.) L. (1763)
.
Lectotype
(Humphries in Jarvis & Turland in
Taxon
47: 364. 1998): Herb. Linn. No. 1012.12 (
LINN
)
.
Current name:
Tripleurospermum maritimum
(L.) W.D.J. Koch subsp.
inodorum
(L.) Appleq.
(
Asteraceae
).
Note:
Rauschert (in
Folia Geobot. Phytotax.
9: 249-260. 1974) argued (incorrectly) that
M. inodora
L. (1755)
was a superfluous
nomen novum
for
M. chamomilla
L. (1753)
. Applequist (in
Taxon
51: 760. 2003) gives a detailed review of the nomenclature associated with this name, accepting
Humphries'
typification and concluding that the correct name for the scentless mayweed is either
Tripleurospermum inodorum
(L.) Sch. Bip.
at species rank, or
T. maritimum
subsp.
inodorum
(L.) Appleq.
at subspecific rank.
