maximum D. Don in Sweet, Brit. Fl. Gard., ser. 2, 1 [vol. 4 of whole work]:
38 (March 1830). Type: A native of Mexico; a plant of which was obtained by
Mr Hunnemann, in the Autumn of 1827, from the Berlin Botanic Garden, for Robert
Barclay, Esq. in whose collection it flowered last Autumn. ... Note: Teles
et al. (2008) have suggested that the type may well be in B, which if true it
is unlikely to be extant. It is more likely that if a specimen was made it
would have been in either David Dons collection (which is supposed to be in
BM) or in Sweets own collection which is largely in CGE. However, two other
points are worth considering. Firstly, Robert Barclay, who died in October
1830, had an extensive garden and, bearing in mind the suggested date for the
flowering of this plant (c. 1829) it is likely that Don described it from that
material. Secondly, there is a specimen in K (ex herb. Benthamianum of two
flowering branches and one large leaf) which has Erigeron maximum/Hort Soc. Hort. Lond 1830/Leptostelma gigantea/D. Don

strangely, Solbrig (1962: 12) cited Gardner
4923ë'' as the basis for Erigeron
schuchtii var. minor Baker,
having already cited this collection as the type of Erigeron scaberrimum Gardner. Baker (1882: 28) mentioned this Gardner collection agains the typical
species, not this variety and, incidentally, Baker most certainly did not cite
this species (just Erigeron schuchii
Schultz Bip. but under the species synonymy), nor this variety under it;
Baker actually described the variety as new. Schultz Bipontinus name, a nom.
nud., was provided as E. schchtii
in Linnaea 22: 571 (1849), referring to Regnell
I. 202.

Note: This species was described too late to include in the
transfers recently made by Hind (2008)[2009], but would, following generic
concepts employed by me, clearly be included in Vernonia. The maps in Dematteisí'' paper (Dematteis, 2008: 362) show
the symbols for this species transposed with those of Lessingiathus arctatus Dematteis!
