Jarvis, Charlie, 2007, Chapter 7: Linnaean Plant Names and their Types (part H), Order out of Chaos. Linnaean Plant Types and their Types, London: Linnaean Society of London in association with the Natural History Museum, pp. 557-585 : 572

Hieracium gronovii Linnaeus , Species Plantarum 2: 802. 1753, nom. cons.

"Habitat in Virginia, Pensylvania." RCN: 5858.

Conserved type (Reveal in Taxon 41: 149. 1992): Clayton 447 (BM- 000051568).

Current name: Hieracium gronovii L. ( Asteraceae ).

Note: Reveal (in Taxon 41: 149. 1992) proposed Clayton 447 (BM) as the conserved type because the lectotype (954.16, LINN), designated by D’Arcy & Tomb (in Ann. Missouri Bot. Gard. 62: 1294. 1975) was identifiable as H. venosum L. The Committee for Spermatophyta (in Taxon 43: 277. 1994) initially voted against the proposal, but later reconsidered the case in the light of changes made to the Code, and subsequently (in Taxon 45: 674. 1996) voted unanimously for conservation.
