(3036) Chamaemelum Mill., Gard. Dict. Abr., ed. 4: 315. 28 Jan 1754 Comp., nom. cons. prop. Typus: C. nobile (L.) All., Fl. Pedem. 1: 185. Apr–Jul 1785. (Anthemis nobilis L.). (H) Chamaemelum Daubenton in Diderot Tai Baranauskiené & al. in Food Res. Int. 160: 111715. 2022). Therefore, the proposal is presented here to conserve Chamaemelum Mill. against Chamaemelum Daubenton, and preserve the current usage of the name Chamaemelum. If Chamaemelum Mill. (l.c.) is not conserved against Chamaemelum Daubenton, Chamaemelum Mill., as an illegitimate later homonym of Chamaemelum Daubenton (l.c.), could not be used. There is a synonym of Chamaemelum Mill., Marcelia Cass. (in Cuvier, Dict. Sci. Nat. 34: 107. Apr 1825), which was originally described to include Marcelia aurea (L.) Cass. (basionym: Anacyclus aureus L.), a heterotypic synonym of Chamaemelum nobile. There is no evidence that this name has ever been used as an accepted name since it was published in 1825. Therefore, to displace Chamaemelum Mill., and have to provide two new combinations in Marcelia would clearly be disruptive and undesirable.
