Lectotype (Fernald & Schubert in Rhodora 50: 173, pl. 1102. 1948): Herb. Linn. No. 1025.4 ( LINN) .

Current name: Rudbeckia hirta L. ( Asteraceae ).

Note: Rudbeckia hirta L. was treated as the generitype by Britton & Brown ( Ill. Fl. N. U. S., ed. 2, 3: 469. 1913; see McNeill & al. in Taxon 36: 382. 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.: 183. 1929) of R. laciniata L.
