Proposal to conserve the name Chamaemelum Mill. against Chamaemelum Daubenton (Asteraceae)

Abstract

A recent study by Martinez & Pastore (in Taxon 73: 868–879. 2024) focused on overlooked names published in October–November, 1753 in the third volume of the Encyclopédie, ou Dictionnaire raisonné des sciences, des arts et des métiers by Diderot and d'Alembert. These names primarily originate from Tournefort's pre-Linnaean work, as well as from works by P. Micheli and Plumier. The protologues of these names sometimes included textual copies of the original descriptions of these earlier authors. As noted in Proposal 3035 on Molopospermum, acceptance of only two names in this volume would appear to cause disadvantageous nomenclatural change.
