Chrysanthemum indicum Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 2: 889. 1753, typ. cons.

"Habitat in India." RCN: 6440.

Lectotype (Humphries in Jarvis & Turland in Taxon 47: 358. 1998): Herb. Linn. No. 1012.15 (LINN) .

Generitype of Chrysanthemum Linnaeus, nom. cons.

Current name: Chrysanthemum indicum L. ( Asteraceae).

Note: Chrysanthemum coronarium L. had long been treated as the generitype until Trehane (in Taxon 44: 439. 1995) proposed the conservation of Chrysanthemum with C. indicum as the conserved type, in order to restrict the generic name to the florists’ chrysanthemum. The proposal was successful, resulting in Glebionis Cass, becoming the correct generic name for C. segetum L. and C. coronarium L.
