Eryngium billardieri / correct scientific name

[David Merrick]

There seems to be two versions of this name going -

Eryngium billardieri Delile

Eryngium billardierei F.Delaroche

and the website has used both inconsistently (search for 'billardier') at

https://efloraofindia.com/efi/eryngium/

https://efloraofindia.com/efi/eryngium-billardieri/

I presume this may have arisen by expanding an ambiguous author abbreviation "Del."; the form according to PoWo (https://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:841675-1), flora.org.il (https://flora.org.il/en/plants/erybil/),  and others is Eryngium billardierei F.Delaroche

All the best, David

Thanks David for pointing out, yes F. Delaroche would be more appropriate

The plant has been uploaded by me, I had abbreviated the name but given full citation same as in Catalogue of Life 

 Eryng. Alep. Hist. 25, t. 2 (1808)

(POWO gives Nouv. Bull. Sci. Soc. Philom. Paris, sér. 2, 1: 87 (1807), which should be correct?

.

Yes on Website it is Delile

1807 should be the earliest - in the various Floras I have that mention it they refer to 1808 works, most commonly Eryng. Alep. Hist. 25, t. 2 (1808).
