Comment:
an illegitimate, superfluous name (Madrid ICN Art. 52) unless generic spelling conserved, as the genus was originally spelled Bellidastrum; Cassine cited and should have transferred Doronicum bellidiastrum L. to his "Bellidiastrum", which would have been correctible to Bellidastrum bellidiastrum, avoiding tautonymy
