Treatment

Alyssum campestre (Linnaeus) Linnaeus View in CoL , Systema Naturae, ed. 10, 2: 1130. 1759.

["Habitat in Gallia."] Sp. Pl. 2: 652 (1753). RCN: 4736.

Basionym: Clypeola campestris L. (1753) .

Neotype (Polatschek in Cafferty & Jarvis in Taxon 51: 532. 2002): France. Montpellier, Herb. Endl. Alyssum calycinum, Endlicher s.n. ( W) .

Current name: Alyssum alyssoides (L.) L. View in CoL View at ENA ( Brassicaceae ).

Note: Dudley (in J. Arnold Arbor. 45: 64. 1964) regarded Sauvages’ description itself as the basis of the basionym but this would be contrary to Art. 8.1. Alyssum campestre L., Sp. Pl. , ed. 2, 2: 909 (1763) is evidently not the same taxon as A. campestre (L.) L. (1759) , and this has caused confusion, leading to " A. campestre " being informally rejected as ambiguous by some authors (e.g. Turrill in J. Bot. 73: 261. 1935; Botschantzev in Novosti Sist. Vyssh. Rast. 15: 150-151. 1985). In the absence of original material, Polatschek designated a neotype, confirming the position of A. campestre (1759) as a synonym of A. alyssoides , in agreement with the treatment of Dudley.
