Lectotypus (designated here): TURKEY: “ Caria ”, 1843, Pinard s.n. ( G-BOIS [ G00332217 ]; isolecto-: BM [ BM000522193 ], G [ G00371707 , G00446091 ], GOET [ GOET002614 , GOET002615 ], JE [ JE00002539 ], K [ K000693658 , K000693659 , K000693660 ], KW [ KW000127974 ], P [ P00234992 , P05413631 , P05413632 , P05413635 , P05413636 ], W [ W0075691 , W18890310406 ], WAG [ WAG0004238 ]) . Syntypi: TURKEY: “Cacumina Cadmi suprà Colossam”, VI.1842, Boissier s.n. ( G-BOIS [ G00332215 ]); “ Caria ”, 1842, Pinard s.n. ( G [ G00371709 , G00371732 ]) ( Fig. 8 , p. 52; 11, p. 55) .

Notes. – The lectotype is a collection folder of five sheets ( Fig. 8 , p. 52), two of them labeled and collected in 1843. The G-BOIS syntype is a collection folder of two sheets, of which one only is labeled with locality and date.

Pinard collected the species in Caria both in 1842 and 1843, though rather few duplicates of the 1842 collection exist (the above two from the Moricand ( Fig. 11 , p. 55) and Candolle’s herbaria, respectively). It is unknown if Boissier examined Pinard’s collections of 1842.
