Taxonomic status and nomenclature of <i>Tanacetumclusii</i> (Asteraceae, Asteroideae, Anthemideae), with comments on its distribution.

ABSTRACT: The paper provides nomenclatural and taxonomic accounts on Tanacetumclusii, a diploid species found in the Eastern Alps, the Carpathians, and the Dinarides, as well as comments on its current distribution. A careful examination of historic taxonomic literature showed that the combination T.clusii was first proposed by Kerner and predates a currently used much younger isonym by Soják (1871 vs. 1971). One specimen, a karyovoucher from WU, is designated here as an epitype for the illegitimate name Pyrethrumclusii, upon which Chrysanthemumclusii, the basionym of T.clusii, is based. This designation aims to avoid ambiguity in the taxonomic interpretation of its previously selected lectotype. Based on examining the original material, a voucher from SIB is desig
