Anthemis arvensis Linnaeus , Species Plantarum 2: 894. 1753.

"Habitat in Europae, praesertim Sueciae agris." RCN: 6481.

Lectotype (Fernandes in Anales Inst. Bot. Cavanilles 32: 1472. 1975): Herb. Linn. No. 1016.15 ( LINN) .

Generitype of Anthemis Linnaeus (vide Green, Prop. Brit. Bot.: 182. 1929).

Current name: Anthemis arvensis L. ( Asteraceae ).

Note: Anthemis maritima was treated as the generitype of Anthemis by Britton & Brown, Ill. Fl. N. U. S., ed. 2, 3: 516. 1913 (see McNeill & al. in Taxon 36: 359. 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.: 182. 1929) of A. arvensis L. See extensive discussion of Green’s generitype choice by Oberprieler (in Bocconea 9: 107. 1998), which he adopts.
