Centaurea nudicaulis Linnaeus, Systema Naturae, ed. 10, 2: 1232. 1759.

["Habitat in Italia, rupe victoriae Galloprovinciae."] Sp. Pl. ed. 2, 2: 1300 (1763). RCN: 6638.

Type not designated.

Original material: Herb. Linn. No. 1030.72 (LINN) .

Current name: Klasea nudicaulis (L.) Fourr. ( Asteraceae).

Note: Cantó (in Lazaroa 6: 23. 1984) designated a Barrelier figure, cited by Linnaeus in Species Plantarum, ed. 2, 2: 1300 (1763) but not in the protologue in 1759, as type. It is consequently not an original element for the name and, as original material appears to exist (1030.72 LINN), Cantó’s choice is not effective.
