Dianthus consimilis Jord. in Billot, Annot. 47. 1856. [December 1856]

Dianthus caryophyllus consimilis ≡ D. caryophyllus var. consimilis (Jord.) Rouy & Foucaud in Rouy, Fl. Fr. 3: 195. 1896.

Dianthus sylvestris = D. sylvestris Wulfen in Jacq., Coll. 1: 237. 1786. [January-September 1786]. Ind. Loc.: "Alpes de l’Oisans” .

Type.

(lectotype here designated): Dianthus consimilis Jord., June-July 1855, [A. Jordan] Roux, Herbier Jordan, LY0079676!

Note.

At LY we found another specimen citing "Lautaret (H. Alpes, May, June-July 1855, ex Horto Alexis Jordan, LY0079674!" but lacking basal leaves.

The lectotype designated here matches the protologue and corresponds to the current application of the name, which is considered as a heterotypic synonym of D. sylvestris subsp. sylvestris in Kerguélen (1993). The lectotype of D. consimilis, concerning the shape of calyx teeth, is very similar to the lectotype of D. inodorus (L.) Gaertn., which, in turn, is currently included within the variability of D. sylvestris (Domina et al. 2021).
