"Habitat in Scaniae & Europae australioris apricis." RCN: 5889. Lectotype (Babcock in Univ. Calif. Publ. Bot. 22: 437, 938, 939, pl. 7. 1947): Herb. Linn. No. 955.14 ( LINN ) . Generitype of Crepis Linnaeus (vide Green, Prop. Brit. Bot. : 178. 1929). Current name: Crepis biennis L. ( Asteraceae ). Note: Crepis biennis , with the type designated by Babcock, was proposed as conserved type of the genus by Jarvis (in Taxon 41: 561. 1992). However, the proposal was eventually ruled unnecessary by the General Committee (see Barrie, l.c. 55: 795-796. 2006 for a review of the history of this and related proposals).
