Generitype

Elephantopus
Linnaeus
(vide Baker in
Trans. Acad. Sci. St. Louis
12: 45. 1902).
Current name:
Elephantopus scaber
L.

Asteraceae

Note:
Philipson (in
J. Bot.
76: 302. 1938) designated 1043.1 (LINN) as the type, but unfortunately this collection is a post-1753 addition to the herbarium and not original material for the name. Grierson (in Dassanayake & Fosberg,
Revised Handb. Fl. Ceylon
1: 135. 1980) indicated Clifford material (BM) as type but this was presumably based on the literature reference, as no relevant Clifford material has been either recorded, or found.
