RCN: 4741. Type not designated. Original material: Herb. Linn. No. 828.21 ( LINN ) ; [icon] in Arduino, Animadv. Bot. Spec. Alt.: 30, t. 14. 1764. Current name: Aurinia petraea (Ard.) Schur ( Brassicaceae ). Note: In the protologue, Linnaeus referred to "Alyssum" from "Ard. Spec. 2. p. t. 10". No page number was given, but t. 10 in Animadv. Bot. Spec. Alt. (1764) is an Arenaria . However, Linnaeus' diagnosis is a close match for the text on p. 30, and the illustration at t. 14, both associated with Alyssum petraeum Ard., a valid binomial. Ball & Dudley (in Turin & al., Fl. Europaea 1: 299. 1964) have treated the two names as synonymous, and A. gemonense appears to be illegitimate.
