The Euro+Med treatment of Anthemideae (Compositae) – generic concepts and required new names

Abstract

A synonymic survey of Anthemideae genera accepted for the purpose of the Euro+Med Project is presented. As a consequence of nomenclatural revision, shifts in generic circumscription or reassessment of accepted specific and subspecific taxa, combinations that are required in the genera Achillea, Anthemis, Artemisia, Cota, Leucanthemum, Mecomischus, Phalacrocarpum, Rhodanthemum and Tanacetum, but do not so far exist, are validated. A North African species hitherto lacking a valid name is described anew as Plagius maghrebinus.
