Cacalia alpina
Linnaeus
,
Species Plantarum
2
: 836. 1753
.
"Habitat in Alpibus Helvetiae, Austriae." RCN: 6043.
Lectotype
(Jeffrey in Jarvis in
Taxon
41: 559. 1992): Herb. Burser X: 155 (
UPS
)
.
Generitype
of
Cacalia
Linnaeus
,
nom. rej.
(vide Rydberg in
Bull. Torrey Bot. Club
51: 370. 1924).
Current name:
Adenostyles alpina
(L.) Bluff & Fingerh.
(
Asteraceae
).
Note:
Cacalia alpina
, with the type designated by Jeffrey, was proposed as conserved type of the genus by Jarvis (in
Taxon
41: 559. 1992). The Committee for Spermatophyta, however, noting that conservation would result in
Cacalia
displacing
Adenostyles
Cass.
, voted (see
Taxon
44: 612. 1995) not to accept the proposal. Wagenitz (in
Taxon
44: 445. 1995) subsequently proposed the rejection of
Cacalia
, with
C. alpina
as type, recommended by the Committee for Spermatophyta (in
Taxon
47: 444. 1998).
See comments on the application of
C. alpina
by Wagenitz (in
Phyton (Horn)
23: 146-147. 1983).
