Micropus erectus Linnaeus View in CoL , Species Plantarum 2: Addenda. 1753.

"Habitat in Hispania." RCN: 6712.

Lectotype ( López González in Anales Jard. Bot. Madrid 55: 480. 1997): Löfling 652a, Herb. Linn. No. 1042.2 ( LINN) .

Current name: Bombycilaena erecta (L.) Smoljan. View in CoL ( Asteraceae ).

Note: It appears that Linnaeus had a mixture of two taxa. 1042.2 (LINN) and Löfling’s description refer to Bombycilaena discolor (Pers.) Laínz, while the published illustration in Löfling’s Iter (not an original element) is B. erecta . Usage has followed the plate. See López González (in Anales Jard. Bot. Madrid 55: 480. 1997), who also typified the name in this contrary sense. Löfling’s sheet is the lectotype, making B. erecta the correct name for what has been called B. discolor .
