Linnaean Plant Types and their Types 490 515 book chapter https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.291971 978-0-9506207-7-0 291971 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).
