Carlina corymbosa Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 2: 828, 1231. 1753.

"Habitat in Italia." RCN: 5994.

Lectotype (Meusel & Kästner in Feddes Repert. 83: 221. 1972): [icon] "Acarna Apula umbellata" in Colonna, Ekphr.: 28, 27. 1606.

Current name: Carlina corymbosa L. ( Asteraceae).

Note: The trivial names of Carlina corymbosa and C. vulgaris were erroneously transposed on p. 828 of Species Plantarum. Linnaeus corrected this in the errata on p. 1231, so that no. 3 and its protologue is C. corymbosa, not C. vulgaris, and no. 4 and its protologue is C. vulgaris, not C. corymbosa .
