Lectotype (Alavi in Jafri & El-Gadi, Fl. Libya 107: 347. 1983): Herb. Linn. No. 959.4 ( LINN) .

Current name: Hypochaeris glabra L. ( Asteraceae ).

Note: Hypochaeris glabra was treated as the generitype by Britton & Brown ( Ill. Fl. N. U. S., ed. 2, 3: 309. 1913; see McNeill & al. in Taxon 36: 374. 1987). However, under Art. 10.5, Ex. 7 (a voted example) of the Vienna Code, this is a type choice made under the American Code and is to be replaced under Art. 10.5b by Green’s choice ( Prop. Brit. Bot.: 178. 1929) of H. radicata L.
