Eupatorium chinense Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 2: 837. 1753.

"Habitat in China. Osbeck." RCN: 6058.

Type not designated.

Original material: none traced.

Current name: Eupatorium chinense L. ( Asteraceae).

Note: Murata & Koyama (in Acta Phytotax. Geobot. 33: 292. 1982) assumed the type to be an Osbeck specimen in S ( “Stockform”) which they had not seen. However, no such material has been traced in S and there appear to be no extant original elements.
