Lectotypus (designated here): TURKEY: “Terrains schisteux du Guzel Déré, en amont de Sedi-chig (environs de Mersina)”, 9.VI.1855, Balansa 171 ( G-BOIS [ G00332351 plant on left]; isolecto-: BM [ BM000583309 plant on left], CAS [ CAS0026909 plant on left], G [ G00388576 fragment on left, G00446603 first sheet], GOET [ GOET002682 plant on left], JE [ JE00003057 plant on right, JE00003058 two branches in middle], K [ K000484887 plant on lower right, K000484888 plant on lower right], MPU [ MPU013362 plant on right, MPU013363 , MPU013364 plant on right, MPU014809 plant on right, MPU014810 plant on right, MPU014811 plant on right], OXF, P [ P02272266 plant on left, P04708403 , P06616637 , P06616638 , P06616639 ], US [ US00100414 plant on right], W [ W0075605 ], WAG [ WAG0004259 plant on left]) . Syntypus: TURKEY: “Terrains schisteux du Guzel Déré, en amont de Sedichig (environs de Mersina)”, 20.V.1855, Balansa 171 ( G-BOIS [ G00332351 plant on right], only flowering material of all of the above mixed collections and the following duplicates: G [ G00388577 , G00446603 second and third sheet], MPU [ MPU013361 ], WAG [ WAG0004260 ]) ( Fig. 20 , p. 64) .

Notes. – The type collection as a whole consists of flowering material collected on May 20 and fruiting material collected on June 9. The fruiting material is designated as the lectotype and the flowering material is treated as syntypes ( Fig. 20 , p. 64).

With the exception of the type specimens G [ G00332351 , G00388576 ], which is fragmentary material ex G-BOIS given to Huber-Morath’s herbarium that was later donated to G in 1991, all other duplicates have printed labels with the exsiccatae number 434 instead of the field number 171 .

Dudley did not annotate the material in G or G-BOIS, though he annotated Balansa 434, and erroneously Balansa 433 from Masmeneudagh ( BM [ BM000583310 ], K [ K000484889 , K000484890 ]), as isotypes. Flowering and fruiting material of Balansa 433 were collected on 8 Aug and 6 Sep 1855, respectively .
