Lycopsis echioides Linnaeus , Species Plantarum, ed. 2, 1: 199. 1762.

"Habitat in America." RCN: 1117.

Lectotype (Edmondson in Willdenowia 8: 23. 1977): Herb. Linn. No. 71.7 ( S) .

Current name: Arnebia pulchra (Roem. & Schult.) J.R. Edm. ( Boraginaceae ).

Note: Edmondson’s typification made this the earliest name for what had previously been called Nonea ventricosa (Sm.) Griseb. so he (in Taxon 27: 126. 1976) proposed the Linnaean name for rejection. This was not approved by the Committee for Spermatophyta (l.c. 29: 492. 1980), but as the epithet “echioides” is pre-occupied in the genus Arnebia by A. echioides DC., the correct name for this taxon is A. pulchra . Popova (in Bot. Zhurn. 80(9): 96-98. 1995) rejected Edmondson’s type choice based only on its identity, and designated Tournefort collections as “lectotype” in its place. However, this is contrary to Art. 9.17.
