Anthemis maritima Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 2: 893. 1753.

"Habitat Monspelii, inque Italia." RCN: 6474.

Lectotype (Fernandes in Anales Inst. Bot. Cavanilles 32: 1460. 1975): Herb. Burser VII(1): 18 (UPS) .

Current name: Anthemis maritima L. ( Asteraceae).

Note: This 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.

Humphries (in Jarvis & al., Regnum Veg. 127: 19. 1993) independently chose the same type as Fernandes.
