Dear PudjiIt is true that Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat was published by Ramat in 1978. Kitamura in 1978 did not transfer this to genus Dendrathema because, because if he did he had to retain thespecific epithet morifolium. It was in fact Tzelev 1961 (in V. L. Komarov, Fl. URSS 26:373) who formed the combination Dendrathema x morifolium (Ramat) Tzelev, 1961.
In the same publication Ramat also described Anthemis grandiflora for which Kitamura in 1978 formed the combination Dendranthema x grandiflora (Ramat.) Kitam., 1978.
Now there seems to a little confusion. According to GRIN, a fairly respected database Correct name is Chrysanthemum x morifolium Ramat. and following its synonyms: Anthemis grandiflora Ramat., Anthemis stipulacea Moench, Chrysanthemum sinense Sabine, Chrysanthemum stipulaceum (Moench) W. Wight, Dendranthema ×grandiflorum (Ramat.) Kitam. Dendranthema ×morifolium (Ramat.) Tzvelev, Matricaria morifolia Ramat.
However according to new Plant List published by Kew and Missouri Botanical Garden (which is supposed to be fairly authentic), all following are accepted names:
Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat (syn: Anthemis grandiflora Ramat.; Matricaria morifolia (Ramat.) Ramat.;
Chrysanthemum stipulaceum (Moench) W. Wight, )
Chrysanthemum x grandiflorum Ramat. with no recorded synonyms
Dendranthema ×grandiflorum (Ramat.) Kitam. with no recorded synonyms (this is strange because
basionym has to be the synonym)
Dendranthema ×morifolium (Ramat.) Tzvelev with Tanacetum morifolium (Ramat.) Kitam as synonym
Sincerely there is lot of confusion out there
