"Habitat in Indiis." RCN: 6713. Lectotype (Jeffrey in Jarvis & al., Regnum Veg. 127: 44. 1993): [icon] " Ana-schovadi " in Rheede, Hort. Malab. 10: 13, t. 7. 1690. Generitype of 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.
