Eupatorium trifoliatum
Linnaeus
,
Species Plantarum
2
: 837. 1753
.
"Habitat in Virginia." RCN: 6062.
Lectotype
(Reveal in Jarvis & Turland in
Taxon
47: 361. 1998): Herb. Linn. No. 336.1 (
S
)
.
Current name:
Eupatorium purpureum
L.
(
Asteraceae
).
Note:
Wiegand (in
Rhodora
22: 61. 1920) provided an extensive discussion of the original elements for this name. Mackenzie (in
Rhodora
22: 163-165. 1920; 29: 6. 1927) disputed that
Clayton 620
(BM) played any role in this but neither author designated a type. See review by Reveal & al. (in
Huntia
7: 221. 1987). Lamond (in
Mem. New York Bot. Gard.
72: 48. 1995) incorrectly treated 978.11 (LINN), a post-1753 addition to the herbarium, as the
holotype
.
