calathiumRech. p.,F1. Iranica 145: 74(1980).
Ref.:FO, 8: 30.
The inclusion ofCodonocephalum FenzlinInulaL. is supported by A>fDERBERG's
(1991; see also Anderberg 1994) accurate study on Inuleae, where other
"Codonocephalum!'' ofthe same country {inuloides andpeacockianum) are listed
underInula.I. stenocalathiaisanIranianendemite.

Vitman's description of this endemite of Switzeriand and Austria Alps exactly
reproduces Suter's one and both are based on Haller (1768 n.97). Ducommun's
combination based on Suter's name is a bibliographic citation error that does not
invalidateit(art33.3 oftheCode).
