Jarvis, Charlie, 2007, Chapter 7: Linnaean Plant Names and their Types (part V), Order out of Chaos. Linnaean Plant Types and their Types, London: Linnaean Society of London in association with the Natural History Museum, pp. 911-926 : 917

Verbesina nodiflora Linnaeus , Centuria I Plantarum: 28. 1755.

"Habitat in Caribaeis." RCN: 6525.

Type not designated.

Original material: Herb. Linn. No. 357.15? ( S) ; Herb. Linn. No. 357.17 ( S) ; [icon] in Sloane, Voy. Jamaica 1: 262, t. 154, f. 4. 1707; [icon] in Dillenius, Hort. Eltham. 1: 53, t. 45, f. 53. 1732.

Current name: Synedrella nodiflora (L.) Gaertn. ( Asteraceae ).

Note: Moore (in Fawcett & Rendle, Fl. Jamaica 7: 247. 1936) noted the existence of 1021.7 (LINN) but did not designate a type. Grierson (in Dassanayake & Fosberg, Revised Handb. Fl. Ceylon 1: 223. 1980) indicated unspecified material in Herb. Sloane ( BM-SL), though with doubt ( “?”), as type, but this would not have been seen by Linnaeus and is not original material for the name. Howard (Fl. Lesser Antilles 6: 600. 1989) indicated 1021.7 (LINN) as the type, but this is a Patrick Browne collection which Linnaeus did not acquire until 1758 and which cannot, therefore, be original material for a name published in 1755.
