Gnaphalium luteoalbum Linnaeus , Species Plantarum 2: 851. 1753.

"Habitat in Helvetia, G. Narbonensi, Hispania, Lusitania." RCN: 6173.

Lectotype (Hilliard & Burtt in Bot. J. Linn. Soc. 82: 206, 244. 1981): Herb. A. van Royen No. 900.286-294 ( L) .

Current name: Laphangium luteoalbum (L.) Tzvelev ( Asteraceae ).

Note: Specific epithet spelled “luteo-album” in the protologue.

Royen ( Alp. Fl. N. Guinea 4: 3348. 1983) indicated Herb. Linn. 989.45 ( LINN) as the holotype but this designation post-dates that of Hilliard & Burtt. The orthography of the specific epithet ( “luteoalbum” vs. “luteoalbum”) was discussed by Brummitt & Taylor (in Taxon 39: 303. 1990).
