Description

Senecio vulgaris Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 2: 867. 1753.

"Habitat in Europae cultis, ruderatis, succulentis." RCN: 6275.

Lectotype (Jeffrey in Jarvis & al., Regnum Veg. 127: 87. 1993): Herb. Clifford: 406, Senecio 1, sheet A (BM-000647048).

Generitype of Senecio Linnaeus (vide Green, Prop. Brit. Bot.: 181. 1929).

Current name: Senecio vulgaris L. (Asteraceae).

Note: Alexander (in Notes Roy. Bot. Gard. Edinburgh 37: 408. 1979) noted the existence of 996.7 (LINN) but did not indicate it as type. Jeffrey & Chen Yi-Ling (in Kew Bull. 39: 428. 1984) and Jeffrey (in Kew Bull. 41: 904. 1986) treated the Hortus Cliffortianus polynomial as the type, and Nordenstam (in Rechinger, Fl. Iranica 164: 83. 1989) indicated Clifford material as the type. However, his statement did not distinguish between the two collections there associated with this name. As they are evidently not part of a single gathering, Art. 9.15 does not apply. Consequently, Jeffrey’s 1992 type choice is accepted.
