Chrysanthemum segetum Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 2: 889. 1753.

"Habitat in Scaniae, Germaniae, Belgii, Angliae, Galliae agris." RCN: 6443.

Lectotype (Grierson in Dassanayake & Fosberg, Revised Handb. Fl. Ceylon 1: 237. 1980): Herb. Clifford: 416, Chrysanthemum 2 (BM-000647213) .

Current name: Glebionis segetum (L.) Fourr. ( 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 L. 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 .
