Notes. – Upon the transfer of Iberis glaucescens to Aethionema, BORNMÜLLER (1911) created an illegitmate later homonym of the Greek A. glaucescens Halácsy (in Verh. K. K. Zool.- Bot. Ges. Wien 38: 748. 1888). However, there is no need to create a new name for the central Turkish Iberis glaucescens in Aethionema, such as A. glaucinum Greuter et al. (Willdenowia 13: 85. 1983), because of the availability of A. balansae, a name reduced by Boissier in Flora Orientalis to synonymy of Crenularia glaucescens .

The species was treated by HEDGE (1965) as Aethionema glaucescens .
