Lepidium aucheri Boiss. in Ann. Sci. Nat., Bot. ser. 2, 17: 195. 1842.

Type: “[Aucher-Eloy] N. 319, Bagdad; 4142, Persia australis”.

Lectotypus (first step designated by DOROFEYEV, 2012: 467; second step designated here): IRAQ: “ Bagdad ”, s.d., Aucher-Eloy 319 (G-BOIS [G00150393]; isolecto-: BM [BM000946193], G [G00096401, G00096402, G00096403], K [K000654400], LE, P [P53356151, P053356153]) . Syntypus: IRAN: “ad Oras Pers. austr.”, s.d., Aucher-Eloy 4142 (BM [BM000593539, BM000593540], G [G00096404, G00096405], G-BOIS [G00150394], K [K000653999], KW [KW000128000], MO [MO1617334], P [P053356150, P53356155], W [W0075837]) .

Note. – DOROFEYEV (2012: 467) selected Aucher-Eloy 319 from the two original syntypes in the protologue, but he designated the LE duplicate as the lectotype. However, Boissier based the species description solely on the two duplicate syntypes in his herbarium and did not examine or annotate the LE specimen. Therefore, a second-step designation is proposed here to correct the lectotypification from LE to G-BOIS.
