Milleria quinqueflora Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 2: 919. 1753.

"Habitat in Panama, Vera Cruce." RCN: 6643.

Lectotype (Stuessy in Jarvis & Turland in Taxon 47: 364. 1998): [icon] " Milleria annua, erecta, foliis conjugatis, floribus spicatis luteis" in Martyn, Hist. Pl. Rar.: 41, t. 41. 1728.

Generitype of Milleria Linnaeus (vide Lessing, Syn. Comp.: 215. 1832).

Current name: Milleria quinqueflora L. ( Asteraceae).

Note: Stuessy (in Ann. Missouri Bot. Gard. 62: 1061. 1975) indicated sheet 1031.1 (LINN) as type, but as it lacks a Species Plantarum number and was a later addition to the herbarium, it is not original material for the name. See notes on the possible provenance of early material by Turner & Triplett (in Phytologia 81: 351. 1996).
