"Habitat in Oriente." RCN: 5917. Lectotype (Turland in Jarvis & Turland in Taxon 47: 364. 1998): Herb. Linn. No. 960.4 ( LINN ) . Current name: Rhagadiolus stellatus (L.) Gaertn. ( Asteraceae ). Note: Kupicha (in Davis, Fl. Turkey 6: 688. 1975) and Meikle (in Taxon 28: 136. 1979) indicated Herb. Linn. No. 330.3 ( S ) as type, but this sheet lacks a Species Plantarum number (i.e. "4" ) and was a later addition to the herbarium. It is not original material for the name. The lectotype designated by Turland is a specimen of Rhagadiolus stellatus , into the synonymy of which L. rhagadiolus therefore falls. Linnaeus' name has generally been treated as a synonym of R. edulis Gaertn. (which is often not recognised as distinct from R. stellatus ), but the present choice of type is not disruptive as the specific epithet "rhagadiolus" cannot in any case be used in Rhagadiolus .
