Artemisia aethiopica Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 2: 845. 1753.

"Habitat in Aethiopia." RCN: 6125.

Type not designated.

Original material: Herb. Linn. No. 988.3 (LINN) .

Current name: Artemisia herba-alba Asso ( Asteraceae).

Note: The only original material appears identifiable as A. herba-alba Asso (1779), into the synonymy of which a number of authors (e.g. Ouyahya in Hind & al., Adv. Compositae Syst.: 345. 1995) place the Linnaean name. A formal proposal may be necessary to formalise this treatment.
