Re-circumscription of Werneria cochlearis (Compositae): Nomenclature, taxonomic notes, and new synonyms

Much has been written about the taxonomic entity of Werneria denticulata albeit there is still a lack of consensus. On the basis of taxonomic evidence and the clarification of the provenance of the type material, we synonymize it under W. cochlearis. The names W. brachypappa and W. pygmaea var. rhodopappa are lectotypified.
