Artemisia pontica Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 2: 847. 1753.

"Habitat in Hungaria interiore, Pannonia, Thracia, Mysia." RCN: 6136.

Lectotype (Leonova in Novosti Sist. Vyssh. Rast. 24: 180. 1987): Herb. Linn. No. 988.31 (LINN) .

Current name: Artemisia pontica L. ( Asteraceae).

Note: Leonova treated unspecified material in LINN as “Typus” and as there is only one collection there associated with this name, sheet 988.31 is accepted as the lectotype. Ling (in Taxon 47: 354. 1998) independently made the same choice of type.
