nom. cons.
Current name:
Chrysanthemum indicum
L.
(
Asteraceae
).
Note:
Chrysanthemum coronarium L.
had long been treated as the
generitype
until Trehane (in
Taxon
44: 439. 1995) proposed the conservation of
Chrysanthemum
with
C. indicum
as the conserved type, in order to restrict the generic name to the
florists'
chrysanthemum. The proposal was successful, resulting in
Glebionis
Cass
, becoming the correct generic name for
C. segetum
L.
and
C. coronarium
L.
