Ambrosia arborescens Mill., Gard. Dict., ed. 8, Ambrosia No. 5 (1768). Type: The fifth sort is a native of Peru, from whence the younger Jussieu sent the seeds to the royal gardens at Paris, and by the generosity of his brother Dr. Barnard de Jussieu, I was favoured with this plant, which has succeeded in the Chelsea garden, whence it annually perfects its seeds. Type: ?BM.

Ambrosia fruticosa Medik., Hist. Comment. Acad. Elect. Theodoro-Palatinae 3: 244 (1775), non Ambrosia fruticosa DC. (1836), nec Franseria fruticosa Phil. (1891). Type: not stated. Note: Payne (1964: 411) commented that the good illustration, along with the description left no doubt as to the identity of Medikus plant, but did not formally lectotypify the name. Robinson (2006: 35) indicated that the lectotype was Medicus pl. 20, but not indicating who lectotypified the name, and it may be sensible to take this as the actual lectotypification unless an earlier one is found.
