Summary Virgulus Raf. (1837) is the earliest available name for those species of Aster L. with a basic chromosome number of x = 5, or derived x = 4. This name has priority over the recently reinstated Lasallea Greene (1903) which is additionally an orthographic variant of Lasallia Mérat (1821), a lichen. The necessary transfers are made from Aster to Virgulas.
