Echinops spinosus
Linnaeus
,
Systema Naturae
, ed. 12, 2
: 581;
Mantissa Plantarum
: 119. 1767
,
nom. illeg.
"Habitat in Aegypto, Arabia." RCN: 6720.
Type not designated.
Original material:
Herb. Linn. No. 1045.2 (
LINN
)
; [icon] in
Dodoens
, Stirp. Hist. Pempt., ed. 2: 722. 1616.
Current name:
Echinops
sp.
(
Asteraceae
).
Note:
Linnaeus included
Echinops spinosissimus
Turra (1765)
in the synonymy of his name and
E. spinosus
is therefore illegitimate (see Greuter in
Willdenowia
33: 58. 2003). However, both names appear to be in use for separate taxa (see e.g. Kozuharov in Tutin & al.,
Fl. Europaea
4: 213. 1976).
