Remarks
In 1822, Porcellites was not accompanied by descriptive material, but was nevertheless validly published by reference to two earlier, effectively published generic descriptions, of Hypochaeris by Moench (Methodus: 549. 1794) and of Achyrophorus by Gaertner (Fruct. Sem. Pl. 2: 370. 1791). The type must be selected from the context of the validating description. Gaertner and Moench included a single named species: Hypochaeris radicata L., the (subsequently designated) type of Hypochaeris L. Therefore Porcellites is a legitimate name but a homotypic synonym of Hypochaeris L. (from Werner Greuter (B)).
