Notes from Flann et al. 2010 Taxon 59: Type - (not in protologue; designated in Flann et al. 2010): P. lanceolatus Cass. in Cuvier , Dict. Sci. Nat. 50: 249 1827 [Centaurea sp., ?= Centaurea pterolopha DC.]. Note: In the protologue, Cassini refers to ‘trois ou quatre espèces, qui sont probablement les Centaurea alba, splendens, nitens etc.’. He is thus careful not to formally include the types of these names in his genus, which is fortunate. Later (in Cuvier, Dict. Sci. Nat. 50: 248 1827) he described a different genus, Phalolepis (q.v.), for the three mentioned species, stating at the same time that his Pterolophus material had turned out to be wrongly named, and describing two new species in the genus. The provenance and taxonomic identity of Cassini’s type material, and of the (independent) type of Candolle’s name that we tentatively synonymise with it, is unknown. It is not unlikely that the plants were hybrids that arose in cultivation. [Flann et al. 2010 Cassini Genera] [details]
