Isatis latisiliqua var. apiculata (Boiss.) Boiss., Fl. Orient. 1: 377. 1867.

 Isatis apiculata Boiss. in Ann. Sci. Nat., Bot. ser. 2, 17: 199. 1842.

Type: “[Aucher-Eloy] N. 4139, Ispahan ”.

Holotypus: IRAN: “ Ispahan ”, s.d., Aucher-Eloy 4139 ( P [ P00741485 ]; iso-: G [ G004462750 ], G-BOIS [ G00332590 ], P [ P00741463 ]) .

= Isatis cappadocica Desv. View in CoL in J. Bot. Agric. 3: 174. 1815.

Notes. – The G-BOIS specimen is fragmentary and consists of a basal leaf and leafless flowering and fruiting branches, and unlike the other duplicates above with printed labels, that of G-BOIS was handwritten by Boissier.

The fragments were certainly taken from the complete P00741485 specimen that was annotated in Boissier’s handwriting as “ Isatis apiculata! Boiss. ”.

This taxon most likely belongs to the I. cappadocica complex, but because of the immature fruit, it is almost impossible to confidently assign the type collection to any of the several subspecies of I. cappadocica .
