FamilyAsteraceae
Type StatusPossible Type
Possible Type of Stenotus armerioides Nuttall
Verified byD. E. Boufford
Determination RemarksComment on the type status of the Nuttall collection affixed to GH 12682. H. M. Hall (1928) designated lectotypes of Chrysopsis acaulis Nutt. (Wyeth collection affixed to GH 55838) and C. caespitosa Nutt. (Wyeth collection affixed to unnumbered sheet at PH), but did not designate the type of Stenotus armerioides Nutt. Hall may not have seen the specimen from Nuttall's herbarium (Nuttall collection affixed to BM 67157, which I take to be the holotype of the species)[see label text in det. field]
Taxon Reference(for Stenotus armerioides Nuttall) Trans. Amer. Philos. Soc. 1841. 7: 335.
FamilyAsteraceae
Determination Stenotus armerioides Nuttall
Determination Remarksthere would appear to be no way to ascertain the type status of the specimen --C. A. Morse, 2007, R. L. McGregor Herbarium (KANU), University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas USA [current name]
Annotation Textand probably did not have confidence enough in the data provided for the Nuttall collection affixed to GH 12682 to cite the specimen as the type. Unfortunately, there appears to be no evidence (shadowing, damage to the paper, ect.) that the specimen deposited at GH was removed from the sheet deposited at BM. Unless there is ancillary evidence that the specimen at GH was received from the collector, or by some other means, as a duplicate of the one in Nuttall's herbarium, [see note field for 3]
