  • Aster reflexus Linnaeus, Species Plantarum, ed. 2, 2: 1225. 1763, nom. illeg. "Habitat ad Cap. b. spei." RCN: 6310. Replaced synonym: Aster imbricatus L. (1760). Type not designated. Original material: as replaced synonym. Current name: Polyarrhena reflexa (L.) Cass. (Asteraceae). Note: Nordenstam (in Bot. Not. 114: 279. 1961) stated that A. imbricatus is a superfluous renaming of A. reflexus L. (1753) but this is incorrect. The protologue of A. imbricatus consists only of a phrase name and a short description and has no elements explicitly in common with the protologue of A. reflexus (which includes a Commelin plate). The confusion has arisen because in the reprint of Plantae Rariores Africanae in Amoen. Acad. 6: 68, no. 68 (1763), Linnaeus substituted the name "A. reflexus" for A. imbricatus. In Species Plantarum, ed. 2, 2: 1225 (1763), Linnaeus’ account of A. reflexus refers only to the Amoen. Acad, account. The diagnoses of the 1753 and 1763 names are not particularly similar, though they seem to describe some similar features. Nordenstam in any case concluded that A. imbricatus and A. reflexus (1753) are synonymous.
