Comments:
  • a proposal for conservation (nom. cons., Madrid ICN Art. 14.10-11) over the earlier homonym (Madrid ICN Art. 53) Bellidiastrum Vaill. was rendered unnecessary by the suppression of Steinwehr's translation of Vaillant's work (Madrid ICN App. I), effectively eliminating Vaillant's competing generic name, but the accompanying proposal to conserve the spelling Bellidiastrum against Scopoli's original spelling "Bellidastrum" has not been resolved
  • all accepted species are in GRIN
